Using your Internet browser, you can access the Router’s Web-Based
Advanced User Interface. In your browser, type “192.168.2.1” (do not
type in anything else such as “http://” or “www”) then press the
“Enter” key.
You will see the Router’s home page in your browser window.

Changing LAN Settings
All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed
and changed here.
1.
IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The
default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the advanced setup
interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser.
This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address,
type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP
address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a
non-routable IP are:
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
2.
Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique,
advanced feature of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change
the subnet mask if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to
the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The
default setting is “255.255.255.0”.

DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy
by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network
automatically. The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can
be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you must
manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network.
To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4.
IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment
to the computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99
computers). If you want to change this number, you can do so
by entering a new starting and ending IP address and clicking on
“Apply Changes”. The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses
automatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP address
pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting at 50
means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the
100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number
than the ending IP address.
5.
Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address
for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease
time set to “Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning
that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular
computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one
day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of
time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP address
may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced
features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are
dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want
the IP address to change.
6.
Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name
(network name) for your network. There is no need to change
this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so.
You can name the network anything you want such as
“MY NETWORK”.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Viewing the DHCP Client List Page
You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are
connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address
(1)
of
the computer, the host name
(2)
(if the computer has been assigned
one), and the MAC address
(3)
of the computer’s network interface
card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh”
(4)
button will update the list. If
there have been any changes, the list will be updated.
Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network
settings. From this tab you can make changes to the wireless network
name or Service Set Identifier (SSID), operating channel, encryption
security settings, and configure the Router to be used as an
access point.

Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID
is used.
The SSID is your network name. The default network name of the
Router is “Belkin N Wireless” followed by six digits that are unique to
your Router. Your network name will look something like
“Belkin_N_Wireless_123456”. You can change this to anything you
choose, or you can leave it unchanged. Keep in mind, if you decide
to change your wireless network name, and there are other wireless
networks operating in your area, your network name needs to be
different from other wireless networks that may be operating in your
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.
Note:
Please periodically check for new Router firmware updates
from the “Utilities > Firmware update” page. Newer firmware can fix
problems, add wireless features, and/or improve wireless performance
(see page 66).
