Updating the Firmware
From time to time, Belkin may release new versions of the Router’s
firmware. Firmware updates contain feature improvements and fixes to
problems that may have existed. When Belkin releases new firmware,
you can download the firmware from the Belkin update website and
update your Router’s firmware to the latest version.

Checking for a New Version of Firmware
The “Check Firmware”

new version of firmware. When you click the button, a new browser
window will appear informing you that either no new firmware is
available or that there is a new version available. If a new version is

Changing System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new
administrator password, set the time zone, enable remote
management, and turn on and off the NAT function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a
password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write
down your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if
you need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended
that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management
feature of your Router.
Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer
starts when there has been no activity. For example, imagine you have
made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your
computer alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is
set to 10 minutes, 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will
expire. You will have to log into the Router again to make any more
changes. The login time-out option is for security purposes and the
default is set to 10 minutes.
Note:
Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced
setup interface at one time.
