naT IP address sharing  
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility  
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 accountꢀ  
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless  
operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other  
applications that are UPnP-compliantꢀ  
support for VPn Pass-Through  
sPI firewall  
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 networkꢀ  
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 floodingꢀ  
MaC address filtering  
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique  
client identifiers) that are allowed access to your networkꢀ Every  
computer has its own MAC addressꢀ Simply enter these MAC addresses  
into a list using the web-based user interface and you can control  
access to your networkꢀ

IP address  
IP Pool  
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Routerꢀ The default IP  
address is “192ꢀ168ꢀ2ꢀ1”ꢀ To access the advanced setup interface, type  
this IP address into the address bar of your browserꢀ This address can  
be changed if neededꢀ 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 IPꢀ Examples of a non-routable IP are:  
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the  
computers on your networkꢀ 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 starting IP address must be lower in number than  
the ending IP addressꢀ  
192ꢀ168ꢀxꢀx (where x is anything between 0 and 255)  
10ꢀxꢀxꢀx (where x is anything between 0 and 255)  
lease Time  
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each  
computerꢀ 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 computerꢀ Setting lease times for shorter  
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the  
specified period of timeꢀ This also means that a particular computer’s  
IP address may change over timeꢀ 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 addressꢀ For this reason, you will not want the  
IP address to changeꢀ  
subnet Mask  
There is no need to change the subnet maskꢀ This is a unique, advanced  
feature of your Belkin Routerꢀ  
dHCP server  
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by  
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automaticallyꢀ  
The default setting is “On”ꢀ The DHCP server can be turned OFF if  
necessary; however, in order to do so, you must manually set a static  
IP address for each computer on your networkꢀ To turn off the DHCP  
server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”ꢀ  
local domain name  
You can set a local domain name (network name) for your networkꢀ  
There is no need to change this setting unless you have a specific  
advanced need to do soꢀ You can name the network anything you want  
such as “MY NETWORK”ꢀ

Changing the Wireless Channel  
Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: “Mixed  
(11b+11g)”, “11g Only”, and “11b Only”ꢀ The different modes are  
explained belowꢀ  
There are a number of operating channels from which to chooseꢀ In the  
United States, there are 11 channelsꢀ In the United Kingdom and most  
of Europe, there are 13 channelsꢀ In a small number of other countries,  
there are other channel requirementsꢀ Your Router is configured to  
operate on the proper channels in which the country you resideꢀ The  
default is “Auto”ꢀ The channel can be changed if neededꢀ 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  
networksꢀ For best performance, use a channel that is at least five  
channels away from the other wireless networkꢀ For instance, if another  
network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6  
or belowꢀ To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down  
listꢀ Click “Apply Changes”ꢀ The change is immediateꢀ  
Mixed (11b+11g) Mode  
In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802ꢀ11b and 802ꢀ11g wireless  
clients simultaneouslyꢀ This is the factory default mode and ensures  
successful operation with all devices compatible with Wi-Fi® ꢀ If you have  
a mix of 802ꢀ11b and 802ꢀ11g clients in your network, we recommend  
that you keep the default settingꢀ This setting should only be changed if  
you have a specific reason to do soꢀ  
11g-only Mode  
802ꢀ11g-Only mode works with 802ꢀ11g clients onlyꢀ This mode  
is recommended only if you want to prevent 802ꢀ11b clients from  
accessing your networkꢀ To switch modes, select the desired mode from  
the “Wireless Mode” drop-down boxꢀ Then, click “Apply Changes”ꢀ  
11b-only Mode  
We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very  
specific reason to do soꢀ This mode exists only to solve unique  
problems that may occur with some 802ꢀ11b client adapters and is NOT  
necessary for interoperability of 802ꢀ11g and 802ꢀ11b standardsꢀ

Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP)  
WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all wireless products that are compliant with Wi-Fiꢀ WEP was designed to give wireless networks the  
equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired networkꢀ  
64-bit WeP  
encryption Keys  
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes  
a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data  
(64 bits total)ꢀ Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit  
encryptionꢀ Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers  
found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decodeꢀ  
After selecting either the “64-bit” or “128-bit WEP” encryption mode,  
it is critical that you generate an encryption keyꢀ If the encryption key  
is not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless  
networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another  
on your network and you will not be able to successfully communicate  
within your networkꢀ You can enter your key by typing in the hex key  
manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and  
click “Generate” to create a keyꢀ A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture  
of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9ꢀ For 64-bit WEP, you need to  
enter 10 hex keysꢀ For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keysꢀ  
128-bit WeP  
As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, a more  
secure method of 128-bit encryption was developedꢀ 128-bit encryption  
includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-  
generated data (128 bits total)ꢀ Some hardware manufacturers refer to  
128-bit as 104-bit encryptionꢀ Most of the new wireless equipment in the  
market today supports both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you  
might have older equipment that only supports 64-bit WEPꢀ All Belkin  
wireless products will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEPꢀ  
For instance:  
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key  
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key  
The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP keyꢀ Your wireless card  
uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware  
manufacturers might have different methods for generating the keysꢀ If  
you have equipment from multiple vendors in your network, you can use  
the hex WEP key from your Router or access point and enter it manually  
into the hex WEP key table in your wireless card’s configuration screenꢀ

Wi-fi Protected access (WPa)  
WPa2  
WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the  
security features of WEPꢀ To use WPA security, the drivers and software  
of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support WPAꢀ These  
updates will be found on the wireless vendors’ websitesꢀ There are two  
types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with 802ꢀ1x  
radius server)ꢀ  
The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of the  
WPA-based 802ꢀ11i standardꢀ It offers a higher level of wireless security  
by combining advanced network authentication and stronger AES  
encryption methodsꢀ  
WPa2 Requirements  
WPa-PsK (no server)  
This method uses what is known as a “pre-shared key” as the  
network keyꢀ A network key is basically a password that is between  
eight and 63 characters longꢀ It can be a combination of letters,  
numbers, or charactersꢀ Each client uses the same network key to  
access the networkꢀ Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a  
home environmentꢀ  
IMPoRTanT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and  
wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, drivers,  
and client utility software that support WPA2ꢀ 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 systemꢀ Other operating systems are not  
supported at this timeꢀ  
WPa (with 802ꢀ1x radius server)  
With this system, a radius server distributes the network key to the  
clients automaticallyꢀ This is typically found in a business environmentꢀ

note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to  
drivers and software that support itꢀ At the time of this User Manual’s  
publication, a security patch download is available free from Microsoftꢀ  
This patch works only with the Windows XP operating systemꢀ You also  
need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless G Desktop  
or Notebook Card from the Belkin support siteꢀ Other operating systems  
are not supported at this timeꢀ Microsoft’s patch only supports devices  
with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin 802ꢀ11g productsꢀ

Enter your pre-shared keyꢀ This can be from eight to 63 characters  
and can be letters, numbers, or symbolsꢀ This same key must be  
used on all of the clients that you set upꢀ For example, your pre-  
shared key might be something like: “Smith family network key”ꢀ  
There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA  
(with radius server)ꢀ WPA-PSK (no server) uses a so-called pre-shared  
key (PSK) as the security keyꢀ A pre-shared key is a password that is  
between eight and 63 characters longꢀ It can be a combination of letters,  
numbers, and other charactersꢀ Each client uses the same key to access  
the networkꢀ Typically, this mode will be used in a home environmentꢀ  
WPA (with radius server) is a configuration wherein a radius server  
distributes the keys to the clients automaticallyꢀ This is typically used  
in a business environmentꢀ WPA2 is the second generation of WPA,  
offering a more advanced encryption technique over WPAꢀ  
Click “Apply Changes” to finishꢀ You must now set all clients to  
match these settingsꢀ

Wireless Range extension and bridging  
PLEASE BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW CAREFULLYꢀ  
What is a Wireless bridge?  
A wireless bridge is actually an operation “mode” you can use to extend  
the range of your wireless network, or add an extension of your network  
in another area of your office or home without running cablesꢀ  
1ꢀ  
Set your access point to the same channel as the Routerꢀ For more  
information on changing channels, see the “Wireless - Channel and  
SSID” section of this User Manualꢀ  
note: We can make no guarantees that this feature will interoperate with  
hardware from other wireless manufacturersꢀ  
2ꢀ  
Find the access point’s MAC address on the bottom of the access  
pointꢀ There are two MAC addresses on the bottom labelꢀ You will  
need the MAC address named “WLAN MAC Address”ꢀ The MAC  
address starts with “0030BD” and is followed by six other numbers  
or letters (iꢀeꢀ, 0030BD-XXXXXX)ꢀ Write the MAC address belowꢀ  
Go to the next stepꢀ  
note: Please make sure to download the latest firmware version for the  
Router for optimal performance at: http://webꢀbelkinꢀcom/supportꢀ  
adding another network segment Wirelessly  
Connecting a network switch or hub to the Router’s RJ45 jack will allow  
a number of computers connected to the switch access to the rest of  
the networkꢀ  
3ꢀ  
Place your secondary access point within range of your Router  
and near the area where you want to extend the range or add the  
network segmentꢀ Typically, indoor range should be between 100  
and 200 feetꢀ  
setting up a bridge between your Router and a secondary  
access Point  
4ꢀ  
5ꢀ  
Connect power to your access pointꢀ Make sure the access point is  
on and proceed to the next stepꢀ  
Bridging your Belkin Router to a secondary access point requires that  
you access the Router’s Advanced Setup Utility and enter the MAC  
address of the access point in the appropriate areaꢀ There are also a few  
other requirementsꢀ  
From a computer already connected to your Router, access the  
Advanced Setup Utility by opening your browserꢀ In the address  
bar, type in “192ꢀ168ꢀ2ꢀ1”ꢀ Do not type in “www” or “http://” before  
the numberꢀ note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address,  
use that IP addressꢀ

firewall  
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network  
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:  
Virtual servers  
Virtual servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services  
such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other  
•

IP Spoofing  
applications, through your Router to your internal networkꢀ Since your  
internal computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the  
Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen”ꢀ If you need  
to configure the virtual server function for a specific application, you will  
need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings  
you needꢀ You can manually input this port information into the Routerꢀ  
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  
Fragment flooding  
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack  
networksꢀ These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that essentially  
they do not exist to a would-be hackerꢀ You can turn the firewall function  
off if needed; however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall  
enabledꢀ Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network  
completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you  
leave the firewall enabledꢀ

[7500]-[7500]) or a wide range of ports (eꢀgꢀ, [7500]-[9000])ꢀ If you need  
multiple single-port values or a mixture of ranges and a single value,  
you must use multiple entries up to the maximum of 20 entries (eꢀgꢀ, 1ꢀ  
[7500]-[7500], 2ꢀ [8023]-[8023], 3ꢀ [9000]-[9000])ꢀ You can only pass one  
port per internal IP addressꢀ Opening ports in your firewall can pose  
a security riskꢀ You can enable and disable settings very quicklyꢀ It is  
recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a  
specific applicationꢀ

blocking an ICMP Ping  
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly  
from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted  
2-way Internet accessꢀ This may be necessary if the NAT feature  
is causing problems with an application such as a game or video-  
conferencing applicationꢀ Use this feature on a temporary basisꢀ The  
computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacksꢀ  
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential  
victims on the Internetꢀ By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a  
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of  
interest might be thereꢀ The Router can be set up so it will not respond  
to an ICMP ping from the outsideꢀ This heightens the level of security of  
your Routerꢀ  
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in  
the IP field and select “Enable”ꢀ Click “Apply Changes” for the change  
to take effectꢀ If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it

to log in to the Router in the futureꢀ It is also recommended that you  
set a password if you plan to use the remote-management feature of  
your Routerꢀ  
Changing the login Time-out setting  
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you  
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interfaceꢀ The timer  
starts when there has been no activityꢀ For example, 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, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expireꢀ  
You will have to log in to the Router again to make any more changesꢀ  
The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is  
set to 10 minutesꢀ note: Only one computer can be logged in to the  
Router’s advanced setup interface at one timeꢀ

enabling Remote Management  
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE  
SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORDꢀ Remote  
management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from  
anywhere on the Internetꢀ  
Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that  
you set your administrator passwordꢀ Leaving the password empty  
will potentially open your Router to intrusionꢀ The remote-access port  
defaults to port 8080ꢀ You can choose a different port by entering a new  
port number in the “remote port” fieldꢀ Click on the “Apply Changes”  
button to save your settingsꢀ  
There are two methods of remotely managing the Routerꢀ 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 Routerꢀ The second method is to allow a specific IP address  
only to remotely manage the Routerꢀ This is more secure, but less  
convenientꢀ To use this method, enter the IP address from which you  
know you will be accessing the Router in the space provided and select,  
“Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router”ꢀ

enabling/disabling auto firmware Update  
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to  
note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users  
onlyꢀ Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE  
ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORDꢀ NAT is the method by which the Router  
shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other  
computers on your networkꢀ This function should only be used if your  
ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an  
advanced system configurationꢀ If you have a single IP address and you  
turn off NAT, the computers on your network will not be able to access  
the Internetꢀ Other problems may also occurꢀ Turning off NAT will disable  
your firewall functionsꢀ  
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that  
the new firmware is availableꢀ When you log into the Router’s Web-  
Based Advanced User Interface, the Router will perform a check to see  
if new firmware is availableꢀ If so, you will be notifiedꢀ You can choose  
to download the new version or ignore itꢀ The Router ships with this  
feature disabledꢀ If you want to disable it, select “Enable” and click  
“Apply Changes”ꢀ  
enabling/disabling Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)  
UPnP is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin Routerꢀ It is  
a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video  
messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliantꢀ  
Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a  
specific way to operate properlyꢀ This usually requires opening TCP and  
UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger portsꢀ An application  
that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router,  
basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configuredꢀ  
The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabledꢀ If you are using any  
applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the  
UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP featureꢀ Simply select “Enable”  
in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “Utilities” pageꢀ Click “Apply  
Changes” to save the changeꢀ

the wireless utility, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:  
1ꢀ  
2ꢀ  
Click on the correct network name in the “Available Networks” listꢀ  
If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to  
enter the network keyꢀ For more information regarding security, see  
the page entitled “Changing the Wireless Security Settings”ꢀ  
1ꢀ  
2ꢀ  
Temporarily move computer, if possible, five to 10 feet from the  
Routerꢀ Close the wireless utility, and re-open itꢀ If the correct  
network name now appears under “Available Networks”, you may  
have a range or interference problemꢀ Please see the suggestions  
discussed in Appendix B entitled “Important Factors for Placement  
and Setup”ꢀ  
Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower left-hand corner of  
your screen should turn green, indicating a successful connection  
to the networkꢀ  
Using a computer that is connected to the Router via a network  
cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is  
enabledꢀ This setting is found on the Router’s wireless “Channel  
and SSID” configuration pageꢀ

Problem:  
My wireless network performance is inconsistentꢀ  
Data transfer is sometimes slowꢀ  
Signal strength is poorꢀ  
Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectionꢀ  
solution:  
Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and  
the throughput performance between devices decreases when the  
distance between devices increasesꢀ Other factors that will cause signal  
degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such  
as walls and metal appliancesꢀ As a result, the typical indoor range of  
your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feetꢀ Note also that  
connection speed may decrease as you move farther from the Router or  
Access Pointꢀ  
Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless transmit  
rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and connection  
stabilityꢀ Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission  
rateꢀ To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open  
“Network Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s  
connectionꢀ 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 propertyꢀ 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 stableꢀ  
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 Internetꢀ For more assistance, see your  
wireless card’s user manualꢀ  
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 Routerꢀ  
Changing the wireless channel - Depending on local wireless traffic  
and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can  
improve performance and reliabilityꢀ 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 entitled “Changing  
the Wireless Channel” on page 32 for instructions on how to choose  
other channelsꢀ

Problem:  
How do I extend the range of my wireless network?  
solution:  
Belkin recommends using one of the following products to extend wireless network coverage throughout large homes or offices:  
•
Wireless Access Point: A wireless access point can effectively  
double the coverage area of your wireless networkꢀ An access  
point is typically placed in the area not currently covered by  
your wireless router, and connected to the router using either an  
Ethernet cable, or through your home’s power lines using two  
powerline Ethernet adaptersꢀ  
•
For 802ꢀ11g (54g) wireless networks, Belkin offers a Wireless Range  
Extender/Access Point that can be connected wirelessly to a Belkin  
802ꢀ11g Wireless Router, without requiring an Ethernet cable or  
powerline Ethernet adaptersꢀ  
These Belkin products are available at your local retailer, or can be ordered from Belkin directlyꢀ  
For network/range extension information, please visit: wwwꢀbelkinꢀcom/networking to find out more about:

appendix a: Glossary  
dns  
IP address  
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Serverꢀ A Domain Name Server  
is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal  
Resource Links) like wwwꢀbelkinꢀcom to IP addressesꢀ Many ISPs do  
not require you to enter this information into the Routerꢀ If you are using  
a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS  
address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work  
properlyꢀ If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that  
you do not have to enter a DNS addressꢀ  
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Routerꢀ To access the  
advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar  
of your browserꢀ This address can be changed if neededꢀ 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 IPꢀ Examples of a  
non-routable IP are:  
192ꢀ168ꢀxꢀx (where x is anything between 0 and 255)  
10ꢀxꢀxꢀx (where x is anything between 0 and 255)  
subnet Mask  
Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its partsꢀ  
These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable  
sections, called subnetsꢀ The subnet mask is the network address plus  
the information reserved for identifying the “subnetwork”ꢀ

Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection typeꢀ If you use an  
ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log  
you into the serviceꢀ  
Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click “Next”ꢀ  
Click “Apply” to activate your settingsꢀ

Identifier (VCI) parameter hereꢀ (Assigned by your ISP)ꢀ  
Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that  
you use to connect to the Internetꢀ  
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your  
browser to get on the Internetꢀ  
disconnect after Xꢀꢀꢀ  
This feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your  
ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of timeꢀ For instance,  
placing a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute  
field will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five  
minutes of no Internet activityꢀ  
To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password  
in the spaces providedꢀ After you have typed in your information, click  
“Apply Changes”ꢀ  
After you apply the changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read  
“connection OK” if your Router is set up properlyꢀ  
This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service by  
the minuteꢀ

Channel and ssId  
encryption  
To change the channel of operation of the Router, select the desired  
channel from the drop-down menu and select your channelꢀ Click “Apply  
Changes” to save the settingꢀ You can also change the SSIDꢀ The SSID  
is the equivalent to the wireless network’s nameꢀ You can make the SSID  
anything you want toꢀ If there are other wireless networks in your area,  
you should give your wireless network a unique nameꢀ Click inside of  
the SSID box and type in a new nameꢀ Click “Apply Changes” to make  
the changeꢀ  
Setting encryption can help keep your network secureꢀ The Router uses  
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption to protect your data and  
features two rates of encryption: 64-bit and 128-bitꢀ Encryption works  
on a system of keysꢀ The key on the computer must match the key on  
the Router, and there are two ways to make a keyꢀ The easiest is to let  
the Router’s software convert a passphrase you’ve created into a keyꢀ  
The advanced method is to enter the keys manuallyꢀ  
application Gateways  
essId broadcast  
Application gateways let you specify specific ports to be open for  
specific applications to work properly with the Network Address  
Translation (NAT) feature of the Routerꢀ A list of popular applications has  
been includedꢀ You can select an application from the popular choices  
included in the drop-down listꢀ Your selections will be programmed into  
the Routerꢀ From the drop-down list, select the row that you want to  
copy the settings from, and the row you want to copy to, and then click  
“Copy To”ꢀ The settings will be transferred to the row you specifiedꢀ  
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that applicationꢀ If your  
application is not here, you will need to check with the application  
vendor to determine which ports need to be configuredꢀ You can  
manually input this port information into the Routerꢀ  
Many wireless network adapters currently on the market possess a  
feature known as site surveyꢀ It scans the air for any available network  
and allows each computer to automatically select a network from the  
surveyꢀ This occurs if the computer’s SSID is set to “ANY”ꢀ Your Belkin  
Router can block this random search for a networkꢀ If you disable the  
“ESSID Broadcast” feature, the only way a computer can join your  
network is by its SSID being set to the specific name of the network  
(like WLAN)ꢀ Be sure that you know your SSID (network name) before  
enabling this featureꢀ It is possible to make your wireless network nearly  
invisibleꢀ By turning off the broadcast of the SSID, your network will not  
appear in a site surveyꢀ Obviously, turning off the broadcast feature of  
the SSID helps increase securityꢀ

To configure the URL-blocking feature, specify the websites (wwwꢀ  
somesiteꢀcom) and/or keywords you want to filter on your networkꢀ Click  
“Apply Changes” to activate the changeꢀ To complete this configuration,  
you will need to create or modify an access rule in the client IP filters  
sectionꢀ To modify an existing rule, click the “Edit” option next to the  
rule you want to modifyꢀ To create a new rule, click on the “Add PC”  
optionꢀ From the “Access Control Add PC” section, check the option for  
“WWW with URL Blocking” in the “Client PC Service” table to filter out  
the websites and keywords specifiedꢀ  
services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other  
applications through your Router to your internal networkꢀ Since your  
internal computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the  
Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen”ꢀ If you need  
to configure the virtual server function for a specific application, you will  
need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings  
you needꢀ  
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided  
for the internal machine, the port type (TCP or UDP), and the LAN and  
public port(s) required to passꢀ Then select “Enable” and click “Set”ꢀ You  
can only pass one port per internal IP addressꢀ Opening ports in your  
firewall can pose a security riskꢀ You can enable and disable settings  
very quicklyꢀ It is recommended that you disable the settings when you  
are not using a specific applicationꢀ  
schedule Rule  
To configure the schedule rule, specify the name, comment, start time,  
and end time that you want to filter on your networkꢀ This page defines  
schedule rule names and activates the schedule for use in the “Access  
Control” pageꢀ  
Client IP filters  
MaC-address filtering  
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or  
other network services at specific days and timesꢀ Restriction can be set  
for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computersꢀ  
The MAC-address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you  
to specify which computers are allowed on the networkꢀ Any computer  
attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list  
will be denied accessꢀ When you enable this feature, you must enter the  
MAC address of each client on your network to allow network access to  
each or copy the MAC address by selecting the name of the computer  
from the “DHCP Client List”ꢀ To enable this feature, select “Enable”ꢀ  
Next, click “Apply Changes” to save the settingsꢀ

password for more security, you can set a password from your Router’s  
web-based user interfaceꢀ Keep your password in a safe place as you  
will need this password if you need to log into the Router in the futureꢀ It  
is sTRonGlY ReCoMMended that you set a password if you plan to  
use the remote management featureꢀ  
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you  
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interfaceꢀ The timer  
starts when there has been no activityꢀ For example, 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, then 10 minutes after you  
leave, the login session will expireꢀ You will have to log into the Router

Time and Time Zone  
UPnP  
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time  
Protocol (SNTP) serverꢀ This allows the Router to synchronize the system  
clock to the global Internetꢀ The synchronized clock in the Router is  
used to record the security log and control client filteringꢀ Select the  
time zone that you reside inꢀ If you reside in an area that observes  
daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to “Enable  
Daylight Saving”ꢀ The system clock may not update immediatelyꢀ Allow  
at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the  
Internet and get a responseꢀ You cannot set the clock yourselfꢀ  
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless  
operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other  
applications that are UPnP-compliantꢀ Some applications require the  
Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properlyꢀ  
This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports and in some instances  
setting trigger portsꢀ An application that is UPnP-compliant has the  
ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router  
which way it needs the firewall configuredꢀ The Router ships with  
the UPnP feature disabledꢀ If you are using any applications that are  
UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features,  
you can enable the UPnP featureꢀ Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP  
Enabling” section of the “Utilities” pageꢀ Click “Apply Changes” to save  
the changeꢀ

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 helpꢀ  
1ꢀ Wireless Router (or access Point) Placement  
2ꢀ avoid obstacles and Interference  
Place your wireless router (or access point), the central connection point  
of your network, as close as possible to the center of your wireless  
network devicesꢀ  
Avoid placing your wireless router (or access point) near devices that  
may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovensꢀ Dense objects that  
can inhibit wireless communication include:  
•
•
•
•
•
Refrigerators  
To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless clients”  
(iꢀeꢀ, computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook Network Cards,  
Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):  
Washers and/or dryers  
Metal cabinets  
Large aquariums  
•
Ensure that your wireless router’s (or access point’s) networking  
antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically  
(toward the ceiling)ꢀ If your wireless router (or access point) itself is  
positioned vertically, point the antennas a much as possible in an  
upward directionꢀ  
Metallic-based UV tinted windows  
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 wireless router or access point)ꢀ  
•
•
In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or access point)  
on a floor that is as close to the center of the home as possibleꢀ  
This may mean placing the wireless router (or access point) on an  
upper floorꢀ  
Try not to place the wireless router (or access point) near a  
cordless 2ꢀ4GHz phoneꢀ

3ꢀ Cordless Phones  
4ꢀ Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless network  
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending  
to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:  
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apar™  
ent buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks  
nearby that can conflict with yoursꢀ  
•
•
Try moving cordless phones away from wireless routers (or access  
points) and your wireless-enabled computersꢀ  
Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless LAN Utility of your  
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available  
(see your wireless adapter’s manual), and move your wireless router  
(or access point) and computers to a channel as far away from other  
networks as possibleꢀ  
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that  
operates on the 2ꢀ4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information)ꢀ If  
this fixes the problem, your phone may be interferingꢀ  
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 devicesꢀ  
•
•
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on  
the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless networkꢀ For  
example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your wireless  
router (or access point) to channel 11ꢀ See your phone’s user  
manual for detailed instructionsꢀ  
For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey  
and wireless channel information included in your User Manualꢀ  
These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area  
with your wireless router (or access point)ꢀ Should you need to cover  
an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/  
Access Pointꢀ  
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz  
cordless phoneꢀ

5ꢀ secure Connections, VPns, and aol  
Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power  
Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and  
are used where security is importantꢀ Secure connections include:  
management setting, which causes it to “go to sleepꢀ” The simplest  
solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or  
AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure websiteꢀ  
•
•
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect  
remotely to an office network  
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 computersꢀ To change your power management setting  
under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panelꢀ  
The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL),  
which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another  
cable or DSL service  
If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and  
AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed  
these issuesꢀ

•
Most online banking websites  
Many commercial websites that require a user name and password  
to access your account
