Revolutionary N+ Wireless Technology with MIMo (N MIMo)  
Your Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router uses a new smart-antenna  
technology called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). N MIMO  
complies with the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases  
speed, range, reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless  
networking systems.  
The element that makes Belkin’s N MIMO technology different  
from a conventional radio is the use of multiple antennas and two  
simultaneous data streams to deliver wireless transfers around your  
home or office. A conventional radio uses one antenna to transmit a  
data stream. Belkin’s N MIMO, on the other hand, uses two antennas.  
This design helps combat distortion and interference. Belkin’s N  
MIMO is multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional smart-  
antenna technology by simultaneously transmitting two data streams  
through the same channel, which increases wireless capacity.  
Another element that enhances Belkin’s N MIMO is the use of  
aggregation as specified in the draft 802.11n specification. By  
shortening the space between packets and combining multiple  
smaller packets into one larger packet, Belkin’s N MIMO can transmit  
more data through available bandwidth.  
Think of conventional radio transmission as a two-lane highway. The  
speed limit governs the maximum allowable flow of traffic through  
that lane. Compared with conventional radios, one-dimensional smart  
antenna systems help move traffic through that lane faster and more  
reliably—analogous to a four-lane road on which traffic consistently  
moves at a rate closer to the speed limit. Belkin’s N MIMO helps  
traffic move at the speed limit and opens more lanes—to become the  
superhighway in this example. The rate of traffic flow is multiplied by  
the number of lanes that are opened.

Placement of your N+ Wireless Modem Router  
Important factors for Placement and setup  
Ensure that your Router’s networking antennas are parallel to each  
other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your  
Router itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as  
possible in an upward direction.  
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is  
to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for wireless devices is  
between 100 and 200 feet.  
In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will  
degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected  
devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you  
move further from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors  
that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s  
radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.  
In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to  
the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the  
Router on an upper floor.  
Try not to place the Router near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.  
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might  
be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to  
a position between five and 10 feet from the Router in order to see if  
distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please  
contact Belkin Technical Support.  
2. avoid obstacles and Interference  
Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,”  
such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless  
communication include:  
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network  
performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from  
functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at  
its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.  
Refrigerators  
Washers and/or dryers  
Metal cabinets  
1. Router Placement  
Place your Router, the central connection point of your network, as  
close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices.  
Large aquariums  
Metallic-based UV tinted windows  
To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless clients”  
(i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook Network Cards,  
Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):  
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that  
objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your  
computers and Router).

3. Cordless Phones  
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order  
to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from  
neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.  
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending  
to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:  
Try moving cordless phones away from your Router and your  
wireless-enabled computers.  
For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site  
Survey and wireless channel information included with your  
wireless network card. See your network card’s user guide for  
more information.  
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that  
operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If  
this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.  
These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area  
with your Router. Should you need to cover an even wider area, we  
suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.  
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on  
the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For  
example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to  
channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.  
5. secure Connections, VPNs, and aol  
Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and  
are used where security is important. Secure connections include:  
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz  
cordless phone.  
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect  
remotely to an office network  
4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network  
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as  
apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless  
networks nearby that can conflict with yours.  
The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL),  
which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another  
cable or DSL service  
Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your  
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available  
(see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and move your Router and  
computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.  
Most online banking websites  
Many commercial websites that require a user name and password  
to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power  
management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The simplest  
solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or  
AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.  
A second alternative is to change your computer’s power management  
settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this may not be appropriate  
for portable computers. To change your power management setting  
under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.  
If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and  
AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed  
these issues.

Product features  
NaT IP address sharing  
In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and  
network your computers. The following is a list of features that make  
your new Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router an ideal solution for your  
home or small office network.  
Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the  
single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider  
while saving the cost of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet  
service account.  
Works with both PCs and Mac® Computers  
sPI firewall  
The Router supports a variety of networking environments including Mac  
OS® 8.x, 9.x, X, v10.x, Linux®, Windows® 98, Me, NT®, 2000, XP, and  
Vista®. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter  
that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).  
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network  
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing,  
Land Attack, Ping of Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero  
length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear  
Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment flooding.  
Usb Port for external storage devices  
Integrated 10/100 4-Port switch  
The Router includes a USB port in the back panel for one storage device  
(flash drive or external hard drive). You can now have network-attached  
storage capabilities without having to purchase an expensive NAS.  
The Router has a built-in, four-port network switch to allow your wired  
computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and  
much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to  
the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between  
computers and the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or  
consuming resources.  
Patent-Pending Network status display  
Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions are in  
operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is connected to  
the Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and  
status-monitoring procedures.  
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)  
UPnP is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice  
messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are  
UPnP-compliant.  
Web-based advanced User Interface  
You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your web  
browser, without having to install additional software onto the computer.  
There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can  
make changes and perform setup functions from any computer on the  
network quickly and easily.  
support for VPN Pass-Through  
If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN  
connection, your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass  
through the Router and to your office network.

built-In dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (dHCP)  
MaC address filtering  
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes  
for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will  
assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need  
for a complicated networking setup.  
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique  
client identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every  
computer has its own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses  
into a list using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface and you can  
control access to your network.  
setup assistant  
The Setup Assistant, second generation of Belkin’s renowned Easy  
Install Wizard, takes the guesswork out of setting up your Router. This  
automatic software determines your network settings for you and sets  
up the Router for connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). In a  
matter of minutes, your Router will be up and running on the Internet.  
Note: Setup Assistant software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP  
and Vista. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be  
set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in this User Manual  
(see page 28).

storage Manager  
Alternatively, you do not need to install the Storage Manager in order to  
access your storage device. Open a file explorer window and type in the  
address field:  
The Storage Manager is an application that provides easy access to  
your USB storage device. Once this is installed, your storage device  
will appear as a drive letter (e.g., D:\) in your “My Computer” folder.  
You may read and write to this drive as if it were directly attached to  
your computer. Note that the Router currently supports FAT, FAT32,  
and NTFS file systems.  
\\192.168.2.1\DeviceName where “DeviceName” is the name that was  
assigned to the storage device.  
Your Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router supports up to four USB  
storage devices through a separate USB hub (not included). Note that  
the Router can supply a maximum of 500mA of current to the port, so  
it is recommended that the hub be externally powered. Additionally,  
some USB hard drives require more than 500mA and must be externally  
powered to function.  
Click “Next” to install the Storage Manager application.  
Click “Finish” to go back to the main menu. You may now access the  
drive as if it were directly attached to your computer. Once installed,  
please use the CD to install this application on all computers on  
which you wish to access the storage device.  
Storage Manager also allows you to safely eject the storage device  
before unplugging it from your Router. This is recommended before  
unplugging the USB storage device as there might be another user  
on your network who is accessing the drive. Simply right-click  
on the “Storage Manager” icon in the system tray and select the  
appropriate button.

computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you  
want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting  
and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP  
server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that  
you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For  
example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not  
to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in  
number than the ending IP address.  
1. IP address  
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP  
address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the advanced setup interface, type  
this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can  
be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP  
address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose should  
be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

5. lease Time  
Viewing the dHCP Client list Page  
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each  
computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”.  
The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is  
assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not  
change for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter  
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the  
specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s  
IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other  
advanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these  
are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the  
IP address to change.  
You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are  
connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the  
computer, the host name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one),  
and the MAC address (3) of the computer’s network interface card (NIC).  
Pressing the “Refresh” (4) button will update the list. If there have been  
any changes, the list will be updated.  
6. local domain Name  
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name  
(network name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting  
unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the  
network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.

Configuring the Wireless Network settings  
The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network  
settings. From this tab you can make changes to the wireless  
network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID), operating channel,  
encryption security settings, and configure the Router to be used as  
an access point.

Changing the Wireless Network Name (ssId)  
Changing the Wireless Channel  
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID is used.  
The SSID is your network name. The default network name of the  
Router is “Belkin N1 Wireless” followed by six digits that are unique  
to your Router. Your network name will look something like “Belkin_  
N1_Wireless_123456”. You can change this to anything you choose,  
or you can leave it unchanged. Keep in mind, if you decide to change  
your wireless network name, and there are other wireless networks  
operating in your area, your network name needs to be different from  
other wireless networks that may be operating in your area. To change  
the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the SSID field (1)  
and click “Apply Changes” (2). The change is immediate. If you make a  
change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need  
to be reconfigured to connect to your new network name. Refer to the  
documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on  
making this change.  
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—  
in the United Kingdom (and most of Europe) and Australia, there are 13.  
In other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is  
configured to operate on the proper channels for the country in which  
you reside. The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other  
wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to  
operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks.  
extension Channel  
The IEEE 802.11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary  
channel to double the bandwidth (see “Using the Bandwidth Switch”  
on the next page). An appropriate extension channel will be displayed  
when operating in 40MHz mode (see “Using the Wireless Mode Switch”  
below). The channel can be changed if needed.  
Using the Wireless Mode switch  
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless modes. There are  
several modes.  
Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled.  
1) off  
(1)  
(2)  
This mode will turn OFF the Router’s access point, so no wireless  
devices can join the network. Turning off the wireless function of your  
Router is a great way to secure your network when you are away from  
home for a long period of time, or don’t want to use the wireless feature  
of the Router at a certain time.  
Note: Please periodically check for new Router firmware updates  
from the “Utilities > Firmware update” page. Newer firmware can fix  
problems, add wireless features, and/or improve wireless performance  
(see page 61).

2) 802.11b  
Using the bandwidth switch  
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802.11b-compliant  
devices to join the network. N1/draft 802.11n and 802.11g devices will  
operate at the 802.11b speed only.  
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless bandwidth modes.  
There are several modes available:  
1) 20MHz/40MHz  
3) 802.11g  
Setting the Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically between  
20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz operation,  
to maximize speed for N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices when  
conditions permit. When a legacy 802.11g access point is presented  
and occupies an adjacent secondary channel, the Router automatically  
reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize compatibility. Set to this mode  
for higher performance.  
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802.11g- and  
802.11b-compliant devices to join the network. N1/draft 802.11n devices  
will operate at the 802.11g speed only.  
4) 802.11n  
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N1/draft  
802.11n-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out 802.11g and  
802.11b devices.  
2) 20MHz  
Setting the Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation. This mode  
is compatible with N1, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant  
devices, but will limit N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices’ bandwidth by  
half. Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only operation might solve some  
wireless problems. This is the default mode for the Router.  
5) 802.11b & 802.11g  
Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802.11g- and  
802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.  
6) 802.11g & 802.11n  
Using the broadcast ssId feature  
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802.11n- and  
802.11g-compliant devices to join the network.  
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users  
only. For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s  
SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers  
that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off  
the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next  
to “Broadcast SSID”, and then click “Apply Changes”. The change is  
immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your  
specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted. Refer to  
the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on  
making this change.  
7) 802.11b & 802.11g & 802.11n  
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-,  
and 802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.

Protected Mode switch  
Using Wi-fi Protected setup  
Protected mode ensures proper operation of N1, draft 802.11n-compliant  
devices on your wireless network when 802.11g or 802.11b devices  
are present or when there is heavy 802.11g or 802.11b traffic in the  
operating environment. Use protected mode if your network consists of  
a mix of Belkin N1 Wireless Cards and 802.11g or 802.11b cards on your  
network. If you are in an environment that includes little to no 802.11g or  
802.11b wireless network traffic, you will achieve the best N1 wireless  
performance with protected mode OFF. Conversely, in an environment  
with HEAVY 802.11g or 802.11b traffic or interference, you will achieve  
the best N1 wireless performance with protected mode ON. This will  
ensure N1 wireless performance is not affected.  
WPS uses WPA2 (described on page 44) for encryption. It does not  
provide additional security, but rather, standardizes the method for  
securing your wireless network. You may use either the Push Button  
Configuration (PBC) method or PIN method to allow a device access to  
your wireless network. Conceptually, the two methods work as follows:  
PBC: First, initiate the WPS PBC procedure on the client device. Refer to  
your client’s documentation on this procedure. Then, within two minutes,  
push and hold the WPS button located on the front of your Router for  
two seconds. Pushing the PBC button will automatically enable WPS.  
The client has now been securely added to your wireless network.  
PIN: The client device has an 8-digit PIN number that is associated  
with WPS. Enable WPS through the screen illustrated below. Enter  
the client’s PIN into the Router’s internal registrar (accessed through  
this screen). The client will be automatically enrolled into your wireless  
network within two minutes.  
802.11e/WMM (Wi-fi® Multimedia) Qos  
WMM, based on 802.11e QoS (Quality of Service), prioritizes important  
data on your network, such as multimedia content and voice-over-IP  
(VoIP), so it will not be interfered with by other data being sent over the  
network. This feature requires other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi  
phones or wireless laptops, to support WMM for best results.  
Changing the Wireless security settings  
Your N+ Wireless Modem Router is equipped with the latest security  
standard called Wi-Fi Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2™) and the legacy  
security standard called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Your  
Router also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) specification,  
which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar  
methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification Number (PIN)  
or pushing a button, to enable users to automatically configure network  
names and strong WPA™/WPA2 data encryption and authentication. By  
default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you will need  
to determine which standard you want to use. To access the security  
settings, click “Security” on the “Wireless” tab.

4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate method  
to connect to a WPS network. Push the PBC button located on the  
back of the Router for two seconds, and then initiate the PBC on the  
client device. Alternatively, push the “Start PBC” soft button to start  
this process.  
5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security  
settings to be set up if not using WPS.  
1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.  
2. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a  
wireless client wishing to access your network must supply an  
8-digit PIN to the Router. After clicking “Enroll”, you must start the  
WPS handshaking procedure from the client within two minutes.  
3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you may enter in the  
Router’s PIN to the registrar. Click “Generate New PIN” to change  
the PIN from the default value. Click “Restore Default PIN” to reset  
the PIN value.

WPa2 Requirements  
setting WPa/WPa2-Personal (PsK)  
IMPoRTaNT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers  
and wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver,  
and client utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this  
User Manual’s publication, a couple security patches are available,  
for free download, from Microsoft®. These patches work only with  
the Windows XP operating system. Other operating systems are not  
supported at this time.  
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK)  
mode and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal  
(PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-  
Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where  
an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients  
automatically. This guide will focus on WPA2-Personal (PSK) usage.  
Please refer to the User Manual for more information about wireless  
security and different types of wireless security.  
For Windows XP computers that do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2),  
a file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless  
Protected Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at  
1. After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under  
“Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the  
“Security Mode” drop-down menu.  
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free  
download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2  
(KB971021). The update is available from:  
2. For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or “WPA-PSK  
+ WPA2-PSK”. This setting will have to be identical on the wireless  
clients that you set up. “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK” mode will allow the  
Router to support clients running either WPA or WPA2 security.  
3. For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or “TKIP+AES”.  
This setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients that you  
set up.  
IMPoRTaNT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client  
cards/adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and  
installed the latest driver. Most of the Belkin wireless cards have  
driver updates available for download from the Belkin support site:  
4. Enter your pre-shared key (PSK). This can be from eight to 63  
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same  
key must be used on all of the wireless clients that you set up. For  
example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family network  
key”. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all wireless  
clients to match these settings.

setting WPa security  
Note: To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be  
equipped with software that supports WPA. At the time this User Manual  
was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for free  
download. This patch works only with Windows XP.  
Your Router supports WPA-PSK (no server). WPA-PSK uses what is  
known as a pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key is  
basically a password that is between eight and 39 characters long. It  
can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client  
uses the same key to access the network. Typically this is the mode that  
will be used in a home environment.  
setting WPa-PsK  
1. From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK  
(no server)”.  
2. For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting will  
have to be identical on the clients that you set up.  
IMPoRTaNT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work  
with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper connection to  
the Router.  
3. Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 39 characters and  
can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on  
all of the clients that you set up.  
4. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to match  
these settings.

setting WeP encryption  
3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on  
your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same  
passphrase. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network  
adapter for information on making this change.  
Note to Mac users: The “Passphrase” option will not operate with  
Apple® AirPort®. To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the  
encryption using the manual method described in the next section.  
Using a Hexadecimal Key  
1. Select “128-bit WEP” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.  
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and  
0–9. 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-digit  
numbers. 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 13 two-  
digit numbers.  
2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you WEP  
key manually by typing in the hex WEP key manually, or you can type  
a passphrase in the “PassPhrase” field and click “Generate” to create  
a WEP key from the passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You  
must now set all of your clients to match these settings.  
For instance:  
af 0f 4b C3 d4 = 64-bit key  
C3 03 0f af 0f 4b b2 C3 d4 4b C3 d4 e7 = 128-bit key  
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters  
between A–F and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption  
settings on your Router and your wireless computers.  
Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit  
encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit  
encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are  
using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try  
64-bit encryption.

Using the access Point Mode  
Configuring the firewall  
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network  
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:  
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced  
users only. The Router can be configured to work as a wireless  
network access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP  
sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the Router will need  
to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet  
as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP  
address is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These  
can be customized for your need.  
IP Spoofing  
SYN flood  
Land Attack Ping of Death (PoD)  
Denial of Service (DoS)  
IP with zero length  
Smurf Attack  
UDP flooding  
Tear Drop Attack  
ICMP defect  
RIP defect  
1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as  
Access Point only” page. When you select this option, you will  
be able to change the IP settings.  
2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click “Apply Changes”.  
TCP Null Scan  
Fragment flooding  
3. Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your  
existing network.  
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to  
attack networks. These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for  
all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You  
can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended  
that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will  
not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is  
recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.  
The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router  
advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified into  
your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC  
address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.

Choosing an application  
Select your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The settings  
will be transferred to the next available space in the screen. Click  
“Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application. To remove an  
application, select the number of the row that you want to remove then  
click “Clear”.  
Configuring Internal forwarding settings  
The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet)  
calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or  
other applications through your Router to your internal network. Since  
your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside  
your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot  
be “seen”. A list of common applications has been provided in case you  
need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application.  
If your application is not listed, you will need to contact the application  
vendor to find out which port settings you need.  
Manually entering settings into the Virtual server  
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for  
the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a comma  
between multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP), and click  
“Apply Changes”. You can only pass one port per internal IP address.  
Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable  
and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable the  
settings when you are not using a specific application.

access Control  
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail,  
or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be  
set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.  
Select the “Enable” radio button to use this feature.  
To restrict Internet access to a single computer, for example, click the  
“Add” button and select the appropriate entry. This entry will deny  
access as a default according the specified criteria. Users can also add  
a particular MAC address of a device manually and press the “Add”  
button. They can also create a blanket rule for all the devices that are  
connecting via the Guest Access feature.  
There are four main configurations for Access Control lists. The first one  
is “Schedule” for that rule. The second is “Service” for the services to  
be blocked for that rule. The third is “URL Blocking” for the URL access  
restrictions, and the fourth is “URL Keyword Blocking” for certain  
keywords to be blocked in the URL address.  
“Everyday” is the default for the days of the week that this rule will be  
implemented on the “Schedule” page.  
The second configuration for the Access Control list is the “service”  
that is to be blocked or allowed. Users can choose to “Block All  
Services”, “Allow All Services”, or configure from a list of predefined  
popular services.  
The Access Control rule can be removed by clicking the “Delete” button.  
Click on the entry number for the configuration options.

Using dynamic dNs  
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address  
to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers,  
allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from  
various locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for  
up to five host names, free to the Internet community.  
The Dynamic DNSSM service is ideal for a home website, file server, or  
to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at  
work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to  
your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. When your IP  
address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by  
visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!  
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit

blocking an ICMP Ping  
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential  
victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a  
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something  
of interest might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not  
respond to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens your Router’s  
security level.

Changing system settings  
Changing the login Time-out setting  
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator  
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on  
and off the NAT function of the Router.  
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you  
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer  
starts when there has been no activity. For example, imagine you have  
made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your  
computer alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is set  
to 10 minutes, 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire.  
You will have to log into the Router again to make any more changes.  
The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is set  
to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s  
advanced setup interface at one time.  
setting or Changing the administrator Password  
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a  
password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down  
your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you  
need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that  
you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature  
of your Router.  
setting the Time and Time Zone  
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol  
(SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock  
to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to  
record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone  
that you reside in. You have the option to select a primary and a backup  
NTP server to keep your Router’s clock synchronized. Select your  
desired NPT server from the drop-down box, or simply keep it as is.  
If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a check  
mark in the box next to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock  
may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to  
contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot  
set the clock yourself.

enabling Remote Management  
enabling/disabling UPnP  
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE  
SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. 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.  
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  
disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and  
wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP  
feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the  
“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.  
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 auto firmware Update  
eCo Mode  
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to  
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that  
the new firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced  
interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is  
available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the  
new version or ignore it.  
Your Router has the ability to automatically turn off the wireless radio to  
save power. You may also dim the LED icons if they are too bright.  
Click the “Dim icon” check box and then “Apply Changes” to lower the  
LED’s brightness.  
Click the “Disable radio” check box and set the time range during which  
to automatically disable the wireless radio. This range will apply every  
day except for those days where the corresponding check box is clicked.  
Note that you must go back to the firmware to manually turn on the radio  
if desired during these time periods.

setup assistant cannot connect my Router to the Internet.  
If you cannot connect to the Internet, and the “modem” LED is off, and  
the “internet” LED is blinking, the problem may be that your modem  
and Router are not connected properly.  
If the Setup Assistant is not able to connect the Router to the Internet,  
please check the following items:  
1. Make sure the network cable between the modem and the Router  
is connected. The cable should be connected at one end to the  
Router’s “to Modem” port, and at the other end to the network port  
on your modem.  
1. Use the troubleshooting suggestions within the Setup Assistant.  
2. If your ISP requires a user name and password, make sure that you  
have typed in your user name and password correctly. Some user  
names require that the ISP’s domain may be at the end of the name.  
Example: “[email protected]”. The “@myisp.com” part of the user  
name may need to be typed as well as your user name.  
2. Unplug the cable or DSL modem from its power source for three  
minutes. After three minutes, plug the modem back into its power  
source. This may force the modem to properly recognize the Router.  
If you continue to have no Internet connection, reference the section  
titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” (page 68 of this User  
Manual for an alternative setup method).  
3. Unplug the power to your Router, wait 10 seconds, and then  
reconnect the power. This will cause the Router to reattempt  
communication with the modem. If the “modem” LED on the  
Router is not lit after completing these steps, please contact Belkin  
Technical Support.

3. If you have a “PPPoE” connection, your ISP will assign you a user  
name and password and sometimes a service name. Make sure the  
Router’s connection type is configured to PPPoE and the settings are  
entered properly. Please refer to the section entitled “Alternate Setup  
Method” for details on changing this setting.  
3. Please refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your  
firewall software for instructions on configuring the firewall to allow  
Internet access.

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.  
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name  
is listed.  
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,  
please check the following items:  
If the name of your network is listed in the “Available Networks” list,  
please follow the steps below to connect wirelessly:  
1. Look at the lights on your Router. If you’re using a Belkin Router, the  
lights should be as follows:  
1. Click on the correct network name in the “Available Networks” list.  
2. If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to enter  
the network key. For more information regarding security, see the  
section entitled “Changing the Wireless Security Settings”.  
The “router” LED should be on.  
The “modem” light should be on, and not blinking.  
The “internet” LED should be on, and not blinking.  
The “Wireless” light should be on, not blinking.  
3. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower, left-hand corner of  
your screen should turn green, indication of a successful connection  
to the network.  
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name is  
not listed.  
2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the  
system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen.  
If the correct network name is not listed under “Available Networks” in  
the wireless utility, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:  
3. The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of  
wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have a list  
of “Available Networks”—those wireless networks it can connect to.  
1. Temporarily move computer, if possible, five to 10 feet from the  
Router. Close the wireless utility, and reopen it. If the correct network  
name now appears under “Available Networks”, you may have a  
range or interference problem. Please see the suggestions discussed  
in the section titled “Placement of your N1 Wireless Router” of this  
User Manual.  
Does the name of your wireless network appear in the results?  
Yes, my network name is listed—go to the troubleshooting solution  
titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name  
is listed”.  
2. Using a computer that is connected to the Router via a network cable  
(as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is enabled.  
This setting is found on the Router’s wireless “Channel and SSID”  
configuration page.  
No, my network name is not listed—go to the troubleshooting solution  
titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name  
is not listed”.  
If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing these  
steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

My wireless network performance is inconsistent.  
Data transfer is sometimes slow.  
Signal strength is poor.  
Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit rate  
can help improve the maximum wireless range and connection stability.  
Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To  
change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network  
Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In  
the properties dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab  
(Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box  
and then click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab and select  
the rate property.  
Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private  
Network (VPN) connection.  
Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and  
the throughput performance between devices decreases when the  
distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal  
degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such  
as walls and metal appliances. Note also that connection speed may  
decrease as you move farther away from the Router.  
Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless  
transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when  
the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are  
more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the  
best one for your environment. Note that all available transmission rates  
should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance,  
see your wireless card’s user manual.  
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we  
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet  
from the Router.  
Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic  
and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can  
improve performance and reliability. The default channel the Router  
is shipped with is channel 11; you may choose from several other  
channels depending on your region. See the section on page 41  
entitled “Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to  
choose other channels.

I am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP)  
security on my belkin Router.  
Note to Mac Users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit  
encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-  
bit encryption. Please check your Apple AirPort product to see which  
version you are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit  
encryption, try 64-bit encryption.  
1. Log into your Router.  
Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Router. (The  
Router’s default is 192.168.2.1.) Log into your Router by clicking on the  
“Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You will be  
asked to enter your password. If you never set a password, leave the  
“Password” field blank and click “Submit”.  
I am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP)  
security on a belkin client card.  
The client card must use the same key as the Router. For instance, if  
your Router uses the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the  
client card must be set to the exact same key.  
Click the “Wireless” tab on the left of your screen. Select the  
“Encryption” or “Security” tab to get to the security settings page.  
1. Double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless  
Network” screen.  
2. Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.  
3. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in your  
hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the  
“Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key from  
the passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set  
all of your clients to match these settings. A hex (hexadecimal) key is  
a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F and 0-9. For 128-bit WEP,  
you need to enter 26 hex keys.  
2. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more  
options of your card.  
3. Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless LAN Utility  
will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the advanced  
features of the Belkin Wireless Card.  
4. Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name  
For example:  
from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties” button.  
C3 03 0f af 4b b2 C3 d4 4b C3 d4 e7 e4 = 128-bit key  
5. Under “Data Encryption”, select “WEP”.  
4. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Router is now set.  
Each of your computers on your wireless network will now need to be  
configured with the same security settings.  
WaRNINg: If you are configuring the Router from a computer with a  
wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned on for this  
wireless client. If this is not done, you will lose your wireless connection.
