ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD
Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have
a unique “serial number” called a MAC address° Your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter
and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service°
When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen” by the
ISP and may cause the connection not to work° Belkin has provided
the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the
Router° This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as
the original MAC address and will allow the connection to work° If you
are not sure whether your ISP needs to see the original MAC address,
simply clone the MAC address of the computer that was originally
connected to the modem° Cloning the address will not cause any
problems with your network°
Cloning your MAC Address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer
that was ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router
was installed° Click the “Clone” button
(1)
° Click “Apply Changes”
(3)
°
Your MAC address is now cloned to the Router°
Entering a Specific MAC Address
In certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address°
You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page° Type in a MAC
address in the spaces provided
(2)
and click “Apply Changes”
(3)
to
save the changes° The Router’s WAN MAC address will now be changed
to the MAC address you specified°

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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”°
3�
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
“Reserve” button will tie up the assigned IP address to the current MAC address° The “Reserved IP Database” section will show the linked IP and
MAC addresses° Pressing the “Refresh”
(4)
button will update the list° If there have been any changes, the list will be updated°
The “Network Address” section defines the local IP address or range° The “Subnet Mask and Gateway” section defines the mask and gateway for the
addresses above°

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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
