standard UTP category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable. The ports are labeled 1
through 4.
I� Connection to Modem

Use of a cable other than the one supplied with the cable modem may
not work properly.

restore option in instances where you may have forgotten your custom
password.

momentarily flash. The “Router” light will begin to blink. When the
“Router” light becomes solid again, the reset is complete.

it. The lights on the Router will momentarily flash. The “Router” light will
begin to blink. When the “Router” light becomes solid again, the restore

CONNECTING AND CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
4
Verify the contents of your box� You should have the following:
•
Belkin N Wireless Router
•
RJ45 Ethernet Networking Cable
•
Power Supply
•
Belkin Setup Assistant Software CD
•
User Manual on the Setup Assistant CD
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 computer be
connected directly to your Router 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.
