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.
