MANUALLY CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
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 in to 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 in to 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 in to 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 in which you reside� If you reside in an area that observes
daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to
“Daylight Savings”� 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 synchronized with different NTP time servers on the
Internet� Select your desired NTP server from the drop-down boxes, or
simply keep it as is�

MANUALLY CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
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 from which you
know you will be accessing the Router 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
defaults to port 8080� You can choose a different port by entering a new
port number in the “remote port” field� Click on the “Apply Changes”
button to save your settings�

MANUALLY CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
Enabling/Disabling Network Address Translation (NAT)
Note:
This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users
only� Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE
ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD� NAT is the method by which the Router
shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other
computers on your network� This function should only be used if your
ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an
advanced system configuration� If you have a single IP address and you
turn off NAT, the computers on your network will not be able to access
the Internet� Other problems may also occur� Turning off NAT will disable
your firewall functions�
Enabling/Disabling Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
UPnP 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� Simply select “Enable”
in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page� Click “Apply
Changes” to save the change�
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that
the new firmware is available� When you log into the Router’s Web-
Based Advanced User Interface, the Router will perform a check to see
if new firmware is available� If so, you will be notified� You can choose
to download the new version or ignore it� The Router ships with this
feature disabled� If you want to disable it, select “Enable” and click
“Apply Changes”�
