Manually Configuring your Router
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 desired NTP time servers and the time zone that you reside
in, then click “Apply Changes”. 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.
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.
Click on the “Change Settings” button to bring up the “Remote
Management” page.
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.

Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature
offered by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless
operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other
applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require
the Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate
properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in
some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-
compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically
“telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The
Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any
applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of
the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature.
Click on the “Change Setting” button to bring up the “UPnP Setting”
page. Then select “On” for “Enable UPnP”. Click on the “Apply
Changes” button to save your settings.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
The ADSL LED is not on.
Solution:
1.
Check the connection between the Router and ADSL line. Make
sure the cable from the ADSL line is connected to the port on
the Router labeled “DSL Line”.
2.
Make sure the Router has power. The Power LED
on the front
panel should be illuminated.
Problem:
The Internet LED is not on.
Solution:
1.
Make sure the cable from the ADSL line is connected to the port
on the Router labeled “DSL Line” and the ADSL LED
is on.
2.
Make sure you have the correct VPI/VCI, user name, and password
from your ISP provider.
Problem:
My connection type is static IP address. I can’t connect to
the Internet.
Solution:
Since your connection type is static IP address, your ISP must assign
you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Instead of using
the Wizard, go to “Connection Type”, and then select your connection
type. Click “Next”, select “Static IP”, and enter your IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway information.
Problem:
I’ve forgotten or lost my password.
Solution:
Press and hold the “Reset” button on the rear panel for at least 10
seconds to restore the factory defaults.

Problem:
My wireless PC cannot connect to the Router.
Solution:
1.
Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID settings as the
Router, and you have the same security settings on the clients
such as WPA or WEP encryption.
2.
Make sure the distance between the Router and wireless PC are
not too far away.
Problem:
The wireless network is often interrupted.
Solution:
1.
Move your wireless PC closer to the Router to find a better signal.
2.
There may also be interference, possibly caused by a microwave
oven or 2.4GHz cordless phones. Change the location of the
Router or use a different wireless channel.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
Solution:
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,
please check the following items:
1.
Look at the lights on your Router. If you are using a Belkin Router,
the lights should be as follows:
•
The “Power” light should be on.
•
The “Connected” light should be on, and not blinking.
•
The “WAN” light should be either on or blinking.
2.
Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in
the system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Card, the tray icon should look
like this.
The icon may be red or green.
3.
The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of
wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have
a list of “Available Networks”— those wireless networks it can
connect to.
