enabling Remote Management 
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, M aK e sUR e yo U H aVe  se T TH e aDMINI sTR aTo R P ass WoRD . Remote management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet  . There are two methods of remotely managing the Router . The first is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely manage the Router” . By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router  . 
The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the Router . This is more secure, but less convenient  . To use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router” . Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password  . Leaving the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion . 
Advanced Feature: The “Remote Access Port” option allows you to configure the desired “Remote Access Port for Remote Management” feature . The default access port is set to port 80  . 
enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin Router  . It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant  . Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly  . This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports . An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured  . The Router ships with the UPnP feature enabled .

Troubleshooting
setup a ssistant CD does not automatically start �
If the CD-ROM does not start the Setup Assistant automatically, it could be that the computer is running other applications that are interfering with the CD drive .
1� If the Setup Assistant Welcome screen does not appear within 15-20 seconds, open up your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” icon that is located on your desktop  .
2� Next, double-click on the CD-ROM drive that the Setup Assistant CD has been placed in to start the installation  .
3� The Setup Assistant should start within a few seconds  . If, instead, a window appears showing the files on the CD, double-click on the icon labeled “SetupAssistant” .
4� If the Setup Assistant still does not start, reference the section titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” (page 67) of this User Manual for an alternative setup method)  .
setup a ssistant cannot find my Router �
If the Setup Assistant is not able to find the Router during the installation process, please check the following items:
1� If the Setup Assistant is not able to find the Router during the installation process, there may be third-party firewall software installed on the computer attempting to access the Internet  . Examples of third-party firewall software are ZoneAlarm, BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal Firewall, and Norton Personal Firewall . If you do have firewall software installed on your computer, please make sure that you properly configure it  . You can determine if the firewall software is preventing Internet access by temporarily turning it off . If, while the firewall is disabled, Internet access works properly, you will need to change the firewall settings to function properly when it is turned on  . Please refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your firewall software for instructions on configuring the firewall to allow Internet access  .
2� Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the power back into the Router  . Ensure that the Router’s “router” LED is on; it should be solid BLUE  . If not, check to make sure that the AC adapter is connected to the Router and plugged into a wall outlet .
3� Ensure that you have a cable connected between the network (Ethernet) port on the back of the computer and one of the “to Wired Computers” ports on the back of the Router  . 
Note: The computer should NOT be connected to the port labeled “to Modem” on the back of the Router .
4� Try shutting down and restarting your computer, then rerunning the Setup Assistant  . 
If the Setup Assistant is still unable to find the Router, reference the section titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” for installation steps .
