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. You have the option to select
a primary and a backup NTP server to keep your Router’s clock
synchronized. Select your desired NPT server from the drop-down
box, or simply keep it as is.
If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a
check mark in the box next to “Enable 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.
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.

Advanced Feature: The “Remote Access Port” option allows you to
configure the desired “Remote Access Port for Remote Management”
feature. The default access port is set to port 80.
Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)
Note:
This advanced feature should be employed by advanced
users only.
Before enabling this function,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE
ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD
. Network Address Translation (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 NAT off, the computers on your
network will not be able to access the Internet. Other problems may
also occur. Turning off NAT will not affect your firewall functions.

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. 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
advanced 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.
