Manually Configuring your Router
2.
Subnet Mask
- Enter a subnet mask assigned by your ISP.
3.
Default Route
-
Enter a default gateway IP address. If the Router cannot find the
destination address within its local network, it will forward the
packets to the default gateway assigned by your ISP.
4.
VPI/VCI
- Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual
Circuit Identifier
(VCI) parameter here. These identifiers are assigned by your ISP.
5.
Encapsulation
- Select LLC or VC MUX your ISP uses.
Setting your Connection Type to Modem
Only (Disable Internet Sharing)
In this mode, the Router simply acts as a bridge passing packets across
the DSL port. It requires additional software to be installed on your
computers in order to access the Internet.
1.
VPI/VCI
- Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual
Circuit Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
2.
Encapsulation
- Select LLC or VC MUX. (Assigned by your ISP).
DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates
Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses.
Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. The
“Automatic from ISP” box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give
you a specific DNS address. If you are using a static IP connection type,
then you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS
address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is
dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.

Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address
settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS entries
in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” (2) to save the settings.
Using DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
The DDNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host
name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network
computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the
Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free
to the Internet community. TZO.com is another alternative to DynDNS.org.
DDNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make
it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at
work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always
points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes
it. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can
always locate you by visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!

Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS Update Client
You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service before using this
feature. Once you have your registration, follow the directions below.
1.
Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “Account / E-mail” field (1).
2.
Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password / Key” field (2).
3.
Enter the DynDNS.org domain name you set up with DynDNS.org in
the “Domain Name” field (3).
4.
Click “Apply Changes” to update your IP address.
Whenever your IP address assigned by your ISP changes, the Router will
automatically update DynDNS.org’s servers with your new IP address. You
can also do this manually by clicking the “Apply Changes” button (4).
Wireless
The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network
settings. From this tab, you can make changes to the wireless network
name (SSID), operating channel, and encryption security settings.

Channel and SSID
1. Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set
Identifier) is used. The default SSID of the Router is “belkin54g”. You
can change this to anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged.
If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, you will want
to make sure that your SSID is unique (does not match that of another
wireless network in the area). To change the SSID, type in the SSID
that you want to use in the SSID field (1) and click “Apply Changes”
(2). The change is immediate. If you make a change to the SSID, your
wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to
connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your
wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
2. Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature
For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your
network’s SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from
computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks.
To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, select “DISABLE” and then
click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Each computer
now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of
“ANY” will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your
wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
Note:
This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.

3. Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your Router can operate in three different wireless
modes: “Mixed (11b+11g)”, “11g Only”, and “11b Only”.
The different modes are explained below.
“Mixed (11b+11g)” Mode
—In this mode, the Router is compatible
with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. This
is the factory default mode and ensures successful operation
with all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b
and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend leave the
setting as defaultThis setting should only be changed if you have
a specific reason to do so.
”11g –Only” Mode
—802.11g-Only mode works with 802.11g clients
only. This mode is recommended only if you want to prevent
802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes,
select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down
box. Then, click “Apply Changes”.
”11b Only” Mode
—We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless
you have a very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only
to solve unique problems that may occur with some 802.11b
client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of
802.11g and 802.11b standards.
4. Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the
United States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of
Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there
are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the
proper channels for the country you reside in. The default is “Auto”.
The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel
that is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance,
use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless
network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then
set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the
channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is
immediate.
