Click on “Channel and SSID” in the left column

under the “Wireless” heading.

Configure the following parameters.

SSID: Set the wireless network name. The SSID can contain up to

32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is “belkin.###”.

Broadcast SSID: If checked, the Router broadcasts its SSID in

the wireless network, so that wireless clients can scan the SSID

and access the wireless network under the SSID. The check box

is selected by default. If the check box is cleared, only devices

that know the correct SSID can connect to the Router.

For the remaining settings, use the defaults.

The default channel is Auto.

It is unnecessary to change the wireless channel unless

you notice interference problems with another nearby

wireless Router or access point. Select a channel that is

not being used by any other nearby wireless networks.

The default mode is 802.11b/g/n.

If you do not know which mode to use, select 802.11b/g/n.

The default bandwidth is 20/40MHz.

The default protected mode is Off.

In most situations, best performance is achieved with

Protected Mode Off. If you are operating in an environment

with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference, best performance

may be achieved with Protected Mode On.

The default 802.11e/WMM QoS mode is On.

QoS prioritizes important data on your network such as

multimedia content and voice-over-IP (VoIP) so it will not be

interfered by other data being sent over the network.

Click “Apply Changes”.

Restoring Your Router to Factory Defaults

Resetting the Router will restore the Router’s normal operation

while maintaining the programmed settings. Reset the Router

in rare cases when the Router may function improperly.

Using the Reset Button

Use the restore option in instances where you may have forgotten

your custom password or when the Router may function improperly.

Push and hold the “Reset” button for 8-10 seconds, and then

release it. The LAN light on the Router will momentarily flash

and the WLAN light will turn out. When the LAN and WLAN

lights become solid green again, the reset is complete.

Restoring the Router to Default Settings Using the Web Interface

You can also restore the factory defaults using the web interface.

This may be because the Router is not performing as expected

or you wish to remove all previously configured settings.

Setup Steps

Click on “Restore Factory Defaults” in the left-

hand column under the “Utilities” heading.

Click on the “Restore Defaults” button.

A warning box will open that says, “Warning: All your settings

will be lost. Are you sure you want to do this?” Click “OK”.

The Router will begin the restoration process. Once the

restoration process is complete, the Router will reboot.

Note: This may take several minutes.

Your Router has been successfully restored to its factory settings.

Backing Up Your Conﬁguration

The configuration settings of the Router are stored

within the Router in a configuration file. You can back

up (save) the file and retrieve it for later use.

We recommend that you back up your configuration file after

you complete settings. If the Router fails or becomes corrupted,

or an administrator password is lost, you can easily re-obtain

your configuration by restoring the configuration file.
