Checking for a New Version of Firmware
The “Check Firmware” (1) button allows you to instantly check
for a new version of firmware. When you click the button, a new
browser window will appear informing you that either no new
firmware is available or that there is a new version available. If a
new version is available, you will have the option to download it.
Downloading a New Version of Firmware
If you click the “Check Firmware” button and a new version of
firmware is available, you will see a screen similar to the one below:
1.
To download the new version of firmware, click “Download”.
2.
A window will open that allows you to select the location where
you want to save the firmware file. Select a location. You can
name the file anything you want, or use the default name. Be sure
to locate the file in a place where you can locate it yourself later.
When you have selected the location, click “Save”.
3.
When the save is complete,
you will see the following
window. Click “Close”.
The download of the firmware
is complete. To update the

You will be asked if you are sure you want to continue. Click
“OK”.
5.
You will see one more message. This message tells you that
the Router may not respond for as long as one minute as the
firmware is loaded into the Router and the Router is rebooted.
Click “OK”.
A 60-second countdown will appear on the screen. When the
countdown reaches zero, the Router firmware update will be complete.
The Router home page should appear automatically. If not, type in the
Router’s address (default = 192.168.2.1) into the navigation bar of your
browser.
System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new
administrator password, set the time zone, enable remote
management, and turn on and off the UPnP function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a
password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down
your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need
to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that you set a
password if you plan to use the remote management feature of your Router.

Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer
starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some
changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone
without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes,
then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have
to log into the Router again to make any more changes. The login time-
out option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes.
Note:
Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced
setup interface at one time.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock
to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used
to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time
zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes daylight
saving, then place a check mark in the box next to “Automatically
Adjust Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately.
Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on
the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.
You now have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP
server to keep your router’s clock synchronize with different
NTP time servers on the Internet. Select from the drop down
boxes your desire NTP server. Or simply keep it as is.

Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD
.
Remote management allows you to make changes to your
Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet.
There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to
allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting
“Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN
IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with
a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router.
The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely
manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this
method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router
from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely
manage the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password. Leaving
the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion.
The Remote Access Port is default to port 8080. You can a different
port by entering a new port number for the “remote port” field.
Click on the “Apply Changes” button to save your settings.
