•	 Belkin G Wireless Router
•	 Quick Installation Guide
•	 Belkin Setup Assistant Software CD with User Manual

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.

etup  assistant
Belkin has provided our Setup Assistant sof tware to make installing 
your Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get your Router 
up and running in minutes. The Setup Assistant requires that your 
Windows 2000/ XP, Vista, or Mac OS X v10.4 or v10.5 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. Additionally, if you are using an operating 
system other than Windows 2000/ XP, Vista, or Mac OS X v10.4 or 
v10.5, you must set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method” 
section of this User Manual.
