    (2) LAN Port Status LEDs 
    These  LEDs  are  labeled  1–4  and  correspond  to  the  numbered  ports 
    on  the  rear  of  the  Router.  When  a  computer  is  properly  connected 
    to  one  of  the  LAN  ports  on  the  rear  of  the  Router,  the  LED  will  turn 
    ON.  GREEN  means  a  10Base-T  device  is  connected,  AMBER  means

    (5) Reset Button
    The  reset  button  is  used  in  the  rare  event  that  the  Router  functions 
    improperly.  Resetting  the  Router  will  restore  the  Router’s  normal 
    operation  while  maintaining  the  programmed  settings.  You  can  also 
    restore  the  factory  default  settings  by  using  the  reset  button.  Use 
    the  restore  option  in  instances  where  you  may  have  forgotten  your 
    custom  password.
    a. Using  the  Reset  Button  to  Reset  the  Router 
    Push  and  release  the  Reset  button.  The  lights  on  the  Router 
    will  momentarily  flash.  The  Power/Ready  light  will  begin  to

    Press  and  hold  the  Reset  button  for  five  seconds  then 
    release  it.  The  lights  on  the  Router  will  momentarily  flash. 
    The  Power/Ready  light  will  begin  to  blink.  When  the  Power/
    Ready  light  becomes  solid  again,  the  restore  is  complete.
    (6) Modem Port
    This  port  is  for  connection  to  your  cable  or  DSL  modem.  Use  the  cable 
    that  was  provided  with  the  modem  to  connect  the  modem  to  this  port. 
    We  recommend  you  use  the  included,  high-quality  networking  cable, 
    rather  than  another  cable,  which  may  not  work  properly. 
     
    (7) Computer (LAN) Ports
    Connect  your  computers  to  these  ports.  These  ports  are  RJ45,  10/100 
    auto-negotiation,  auto-uplinking  ports  for  standard  UTP  category  5 
    or  6  Ethernet  cable.  The  ports  are  labeled  1  through  4.  These  ports 
    correspond  to  the  numbered  LEDs  on  the  front  of  the  Router.
    (8) Power Jack
    Connect  the  included  DC  3.3V  /1.5A  power  supply  to  this  jack.

    Modem Requirements
    Your  cable  or  DSL  modem  must  be  equipped  with  an  RJ45  Ethernet 
    port.  Many  modems  have  both  an  RJ45  Ethernet  port  and  a  USB 
    connection.  If  you  have  a  modem  with  both  Ethernet  and  USB,  and 
    are  using  the  USB  connection  at  this  time,  you  will  be  instructed  to 
    use  the  RJ45  Ethernet  port  during  the  installation  procedure.  If  your 
    modem  has  only  a  USB  port,  you  can  request  a  different  type  of 
    modem  from  your  ISP,  or  you  can,  in  some  cases,  purchase  a  modem 
    that  has  an  RJ45  Ethernet  port  on  it.

    Easy Install Wizard
    Belkin  has  provided  our  Easy  Install  Wizard  software  to  make 
    installing  your  Router  a  simple  and  easy  task.  You  can  use  it  to 
    get  your  Router  up  and  running  in  minutes.  The  Easy  Install  Wizard 
    requires  that  your  Windows  98SE,  Me,  2000,  or  XP  computer  be 
    connected  directly  to  your  cable  or  DSL  modem  and  that  the  Internet 
    connection  is  active  and  working
     at  the  time  of  installation.  If  it  is 
    not,  you  must  use  the  “Alternate  Setup  Method”  section  of  this  User 
    Manual  to  configure  your  Router.  If  you  are  using  an  operating  system 
    other  than  Windows  98SE,  Me,  2000,  or  XP,  Mac  OS  9.x,  or  Mac  OS 
    X,  you  must  set  up  the  Router  using  the  “Alternate  Setup  Method” 
    section  of  this  User  Manual
    .
    IMPORTANT: Run the Easy Install Wizard from the computer that is directly 
    connected to the cable or DSL modem.  DO NOT CONNECT THE ROUTER AT 
    THIS TIME.

      Welcome Screen After  you  insert  the  CD  into  your  CD-
    ROM  drive,  the  Wizard’s  welcome 
    screen  will  appear.  Make  sure  you 
    have  not  connected  the  Router  at 
    this  point.  If  you  have  connected 
    your  Router,  please  reconnect  your 
    computer  directly  to  the  modem. 
    Click  “Next”  when  you  are  ready  to 
    move  on.
      Progress Screen Easy  Install  will  show  you  a  progress 
    screen  each  time  a  step  in  the  setup 
    has  been  completed.  Each  time  you 
    see  the  progress  screen,  click  “Next” 
    when  you  are  ready  to  move  to  the 
    next  step.
     Examining Settings The  Wizard  will  now  examine  your 
    computer’s  network  settings  and 
    gather  information  needed  to 
    complete  the  Router’s  connection 
    to  the  Internet.  When  the  Wizard  is 
    finished  examining  your  computer, 
    click  “Next”  to  continue.
     Multi-NICs Screen If  you  have  more  than  one  network 
    adapter  installed  in  your  computer, 
    the  Wizard  will  need  to  know  which 
    adapter  is  connected  to  your  modem. 
    Select  the  network  card  that  is 
    connected  to  your  modem  from  the 
    list  and  click  “Next”.  If  you  are  not 
    sure  which  adapter  to  choose,  select 
    the  adapter  at  the  top  of  the  list.  If 
    you  mistakenly  choose  the  wrong 
    adapter  now,  you  will  be  able  to 
    choose  a  different  one  later.

    Step 2     Connect the Router to your modem and computer
    The  Wizard  will  walk  you  through  connecting  your  Router  to  your 
    computer  and  modem.  Follow  the  steps  on  the  screen  using  the 
    pictures  as  a  guide.
    2.1 This  step  instructs  you  to  locate 
    the  cable  connected  between 
    your  modem  and  the  networking 
    port  on  your  computer.  Unplug 
    this  cable  from  the  computer  and 
    plug  it  into  the  GREEN  port  on  the 
    Router.  Click  “Next”  to  continue.
    2.2 This  step  instructs  you  to  locate 
    the  BLUE  cable  that  is  included 
    with  your  Router.  Plug  one  end 
    of  this  cable  into  ANY  one  of  the 
    BLUE  ports  on  your  Router.  Plug 
    the  other  end  of  the  cable  into  the 
    networking  port  on  your  computer. 
    Click  “Next”  to  continue.
    2.3  This  step  instructs  you  to  locate 
    the  power  supply  that  is  included 
    with  your  Router.  Plug  the  power 
    supply’s  small  connector  into  the 
    GRAY  port  on  the  Router.  Plug  the 
    power  supply  into  an  empty  power 
    outlet.  Click  “Next”  to  continue.
    2.4  This  step  instructs  you  to  look at  the  lights  on  the  front  of  your 
    Router.  Make  sure  the  appropriate 
    lights  are  ON.  Refer  to  the  Easy 
    Install  Wizard  software  on  your 
    computer’s  screen  for  more 
    details.  Click  “Next”  to  continue.

    Step 3     Check the  connection
    3.1  Once  you  have  completed 
    connecting  the  Router,  the  Wizard 
    will  check  the  connection  to  the 
    Router,  then  go  on  to  determine 
    what  type  of  Internet  connection 
    you  have.
    3.2 User Name and Password Needed
     If  you  have  a  connection  type 
    that  requires  a  user  name  and  a 
    password,  the  Wizard  will  ask  you 
    to  type  in  your  user  name  and 
    password.  If  your  connection  type 
    does  not  require  a  user  name  and 
    password,  you  will  not  see  this 
    screen.
      Your  user  name  and  password  is  provided  to  you  by  your  Internet 
    Service  Provider.  If  you  have  to 
    type  in  a  user  name  and  password 
    to  connect  to  the  Internet,  then 
    type  that  same  user  name  and 
    password  in  here.  Your  user  name 
    looks  something  like  “jsmith@myisp.
    com”  or  simply  “jsmith”.  The  service 
    name  is  optional  and  is  very  rarely 
    required  by  your  ISP.  If  you  don’t 
    know  your  service  name,  leave  this 
    blank.  When  you  have  entered  your 
    information,  click  “Next”  to 
     
    move  on.

    Step 4     Configure the Router
    The  Wizard  will  now  transfer  all  of  the  configuration  information  to  the 
    Router.  This  will  take  approximately  one  minute.  During  this  time,  do 
    not  turn  off  the  Router  or  computer.  The  Router  will  restart  itself  at  the 
    end  of  this  step.
    4.1 Checking the Internet The  Wizard  will  now  check  for  an 
    Internet  connection.  This  can  take 
    a  few  minutes.  The  Wizard  may  not 
    detect  a  connection  right  away.  If 
    not,  it  will  retry  a  number  of  times. 
    The  “Connected”  light  on  the  front 
    panel  of  the  Router  will  flash  during 
    this  time. 
    4.2 Finished When  the  Internet  connection 
    is  complete,  the  Wizard  will  tell 
    you  that  you  are  finished.  The 
    “Connected”  LED  on  the  front  of 
    the  Router  will  be  solid  GREEN, 
    indicating  that  the  Router  is  now 
    connected  to  the  Internet.
    Your  Router  is  now  connected  to  the  Internet.  Now  you  can  begin 
    surfing  the  Internet  by  opening  your  browser  and  going  to  your  favorite 
    web  page.
    Congratulations!   You  have  finished  installing  your  new  Belkin  Router.
