Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates
Universal Resource Locaters (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses.
Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require you to enter this
information into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP” box
(1)
should be
checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address. If you are using
a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS
address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work properly. If
your connection type is dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to
enter a DNS address. Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter
the DNS address settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter
your DNS entries in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” to save the
settings.

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
“MAC Address” on the navigation link and then the “Clone” button. Click “Apply
Changes”. 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
(1)
and click “Apply Changes” 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
Changing LAN Settings
All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and changed here.
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”.
