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°

Ethernet

USB

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 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, XP, or Vista, or Mac OS X v10°x, you

must set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method” section of

this User Manual°
