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
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.
Click the Setup icon on the CD menu.
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.
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.

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.
Locate the wireless-network-connections option
on your computer or wireless device.
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.
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
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.
Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Router.
The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it
listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the
light will turn blue 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.

Additional Capabilities
Guest Access
You can allow guests to use your Internet connection without
joining your personal network. The network name and
password for the guest network is located on the network
information card found under the foot of your Router.
A person using your guest network will be able to join
without a password, but will be shown a login page when
they attempt to surf the Web. They will need to enter
the guest password into this page to continue.
