The Belkin Router Manager appears in your system tray
(Windows) or menu bar (Mac). Its icon indicates the current
status of your Router and also allows you to access your
Router’s settings to make changes. It also provides quick
access to software that came bundled with your Router.
To access the Router settings, click on the icon
and select from the menu that appears.
The status of your Router is shown by the Belkin Router Manager
icon, which closely mimics the light on the front of the Router.
Blue:
You are connected to your Belkin Router
and it is connected to the Internet.
Amber:
You are connected to your Belkin Router,
but it is not connected to the Internet.

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.

Manual Setup
If you know what sort of Internet service you have,
you might try a manual setup. For this you will need a
Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Connect to Your Router
Retrieve the network ID card from the foot of your new Belkin Router.
When requested, please enter the password
(security key) provided on the card.
Take a moment to look at the light on the front of
the Router. If it is solid blue, your Router was able
to connect to the Internet automatically.
Can’t find the card? The default network name and
password are also printed on the foot of the Router.
Use your computer, tablet, or smartphone to connect to
the wireless network shown on the network ID card.
If not, please proceed to “Manually Set Up
Your Internet Connection” on page 13.

GETTING STARTED
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 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.
