Modem Requirements

Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet

port. Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB

connection. If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and

are using the USB connection at this time, you will be instructed to

use the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If your

modem has only a USB port, you can request a different type of

modem from your ISP, or you can, in some cases, purchase a modem

that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.

Setup Assistant

Belkin has provided our Setup Assistant software to make installing

your Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get your Router

up and running in minutes. The Setup Assistant requires that your

Windows 2000 or XP computer be connected directly to your cable or

DSL modem and that the Internet connection is

active and working

at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use the “Alternate

Setup Method” section of this User Manual to configure your Router.

Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than Windows

2000 or XP, you must set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup

Method” section of this User Manual.
