For more information about logging into the Router, see the
section called “Logging into the Router”.

Internet Status Indicator
This indicator is visible in all pages of the Router, showing
the connection status of the Router. When the indicator says
“connection OK” in GREEN, the Router is connected to the
Internet. When the Router is not connected to the Internet, the
indicator will read “no connection” in RED. The indicator is
automatically updated when you make changes to the settings of
the Router.

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 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 as the router will
automatically adjust the length based on the IP address type.
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 IP Pool is 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
Lease time is 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”.

DHCP Client List
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.
Internet WAN
The “Internet WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect
to your Internet Service Provider. The Router is capable of connecting
to virtually any ADSL Service Provider’s system provided you have
correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type.
Your connection settings are provided to you by your ISP. To configure
the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection
Type”
(1)
on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type you
use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS”
(2)
allows you to
enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings.
When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator
will read “Connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.
