GETTING STARTED
Adding Computers to Your Network
Wireless devices such as computers, network printers, and gaming
systems can connect to your Router with a few simple steps°
Using the CD
1°
Put the Setup CD into your computer° If the CD
doesn’t open automatically, browse to your CD
drive and open the Belkin Setup CD icon°
2°
Click the Setup icon on the CD menu°
3°
After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you for the
network name and password from the network information card
that came with your Router° This card is most likely now located
underneath the foot of your Router in the provided card slot°
4°
A progress screen will appear while additional software is
installed° This may take a few minutes to complete° Once
finished, a “Success” message will appear indicating that you
are connected to the Internet via your new Belkin Router°
Note:
The setup software runs only on
Windows and Mac OS X systems°

GETTING STARTED
Manually
If you choose not to use the included Setup CD for
adding additional computers or wireless devices, you
can manually add these items to your network°
1°
Locate the wireless-network-connections option
on your computer or wireless device°
2°
Select your Belkin Router from the list of available networks° You
can identify your Belkin Router by locating the network name
(SSID) from the card located underneath the foot of your Router°
3°
Enter your network password (located on
your network information card)°
Your wireless device will take a few moments to connect to your
network° If the connection is not made the first time, try this
process again° If you still have difficulty connecting to your network
after trying this process a few times, see the “Troubleshooting”
section in this manual for help with connecting to your network°
Note:
In some cases you may be prompted to select the
security type° It is printed on the card for your convenience°
Using the WPS Button
1°
Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your
computer or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect
wirelessly to your Router° Often there will be a button for this
purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical
“WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself°
2°
Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Router°
The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink green while
it listens for your Wi-Fi device° Once a connection is established, the
light will turn green and then go out° If a connection is not established,
the light will blink amber° You may repeat the process to try again°
You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled
device you’d like to add to your network°
