Where to Place Your Router
For the best results, place the Router next to your modem in
an open location away from large metal objects and magnets
such as those found in speakers. Raising the Router above floor
level can improve the strength of your wireless signal.

GETTING STARTED
Run the Installer Software
Insert the included CD into your computer. It should run automatically;
if not, find the setup program and open it. Follow the prompts.
The setup software will configure your Internet connection

If you have DSL, you may need a username and
password from your Internet provider.

GETTING STARTED
2. After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you for the
network name and password from the network information card that
is stored in the foot of your new Belkin Router. Store the card under
the base of your Router for future reference.
7
GETTING STARTED
3. 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.
During setup you may be asked for additional information.
You may need to enter a username and password provided by your ISP.
This username and password is likely to be found on materials that
came from your ISP when you signed up for service. If necessary, you
may need to contact your ISP to retrieve your username and password.
If you have a static IP address, you may need to enter
additional information also provided by your ISP.
If your computer doesn’t have a wireless adapter, or the setup
software is unable to control it, you may be asked to connect
your computer to the Router with a network cable.

GETTING STARTED
Advanced Tools & Settings
After the initial setup is complete, you have the option to change settings
like your network name, security type, and password. To make these
changes and others, click on the Advanced Tools icon at the CD Setup menu
and select one of the following settings that you would like to change:
Network Name & Security – Personalize your network name
(SSID), password, and strength of wireless security.
Internet Service Provider & Login Settings – Have you moved or
changed Internet Service Providers? If you’d like to change these settings
without running through the setup process again, this is the place.

The Belkin Router Manager
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.

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

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.
