OVERVIEW

NAT IP Address Sharing

Key Features

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.

Easy Install Wizard

The 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.

SPI Firewall

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.

NOTE: Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows 98SE, Me, 2000,

and XP. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be set up using

the Alternative Method described in this manual.

Integrated Wireless Connectivity

The Router has an integrated 802.11b Wi-Fi Access Point that allows you to

connect wireless-equipped computers to the network without wires.

Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch

The Router has a built-in, 4-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.

Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers

The Router supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS® 8.x,

9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me, NT®, 2000, and

XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter

that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless operation

of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are

UPnP-compliant.

Front-Panel Connected LED 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.

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.

Vertical or Horizontal Desktop Application

Your Router can stand vertically on the desktop to save space, or lay down flat

on a shelf or under your modem. The included vertical mounting base lets you

decide how to position the Router.

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.

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.

MAC Address Filtering

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 user

interface and you can control access to your network.

KNOWING YOUR ROUTER

The Router has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or

horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the

desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the rear

of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily

visible on the front of the Router to provide you with information about network

activity and status.

PLACEMENT OF YOUR ROUTER

CONNECTING AND CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER

Proper placement of your Router is important to ensure the best performance of

your wireless network. Typically, indoors your Wireless Router can provide a

circular coverage area of 250 feet or more. However, different types of

construction materials and other obstructions in a building can greatly affect the

wireless signal and decrease the range. Whenever possible, your Router should be

placed as close as possible to the center of the area that you want to cover. In

multi-story 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.

Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:

• Belkin Wireless Router

• Vertical Mounting Base (optional use)

• Category 5 networking cable (for connection of the Router to the computer)

• Power supply

• Belkin Easy Install Wizard Software CD

• User Manual

Use care when choosing the location of your Router

Modem Requirements

• Be aware of appliances or large objects such as a refrigerator or washer/dryer

unit that may be on the opposite side of a wall from where you decide to

place your Router.

Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port. Many

modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB connection. If you have a

modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are using the USB connection at this

time, you will be instructed to use the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation

procedure. If your modem has only a USB port, you can request a different type

of modem from your ISP, or you can, in some cases, purchase a modem that has

an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.

• Place the Router on top of a desk and away from metal cabinets and

computer cases.

• Do not place objects or components on top of the Router.

• Make sure that both antennas are pointing UP at all times.

• Metallic-based UV window tint can affect wireless performance. Do not place

the Router next to a tinted window.

We realize that in the real world, it may not be possible to place your Router in

the center of your coverage area. In cases where you may experience difficulty

covering the entire area you want, try placing the Router as high as possible.

Wireless devices work best in a line-of-sight situation where there are no

obstacles between the wireless computer and the Router. The Router may also

be mounted to a wall with the antennas facing UP. There are other options for

expanding your wireless coverage area. Visit www.networking.belkin.com

for solutions.

Ethernet

USB

The wireless signal can be affected by many things including neighboring

wireless networks, microwave ovens in operation, and 2.4GHz cordless phones.

While these things can affect the network performance, your wireless network

typically will work fine under most conditions where these devices exist.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Dynamic IP

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Static IP

A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type found with

cable modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is

enough to complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types

may require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if

you were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic

connections may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was

originally connected to the modem.

A static IP address connection type is less common than other connection types.

If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will need your IP address, subnet mask,

and ISP gateway address. This information is available from your ISP or on the

paperwork that your ISP left with you. Type in your information, then click

“Apply Changes” (5). After you apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator

will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.

ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD

Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address

Cloning your MAC Address

All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have a unique

“serial number” called a MAC address. Your ISP may record the MAC address of

your computer’s adapter and only let that particular computer connect to the

Internet service. When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen”

by the ISP and may cause the connection not to work. Belkin has provided the

ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the Router. This

MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as the original MAC

address and will allow the connection to work. If you are not sure whether your

ISP needs to see the original MAC address, simply clone the MAC address of the

computer that was originally connected to the modem. Cloning the address will

not cause any problems with your network.

To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer that was

ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router was installed. Click the

“Clone” button (1). Click “Apply Changes” (2). Your MAC address is now cloned

to the Router.

Entering a Specific MAC Address

In certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address. You can

manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page. Type in a MAC address in the

spaces provided (3) and click “Apply Changes” to save the changes. The Router’s

WAN MAC address will now be changed to the MAC address you specified.

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:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

2. Subnet Mask

There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced feature

of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change the subnet mask if necessary,

however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific

reason to do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”.

3. DHCP Server

Viewing the DHCP Client List Page

The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP

addresses to each computer on the network automatically. 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 network. To

turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.

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.

4. IP Pool

(1)

(2)

(3)

The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the 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.

5. Lease Time

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.

(4)

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

Changing the Wireless Channel

The Wireless tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings. From this

tab you can make changes to the wireless network name (SSID), operating

channel, encryption security settings, and configure the Router to be used as an

access point.

There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United

States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there

are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel

requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for

the country you reside in. The default channel is 11. 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. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five

channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network

is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. To

change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply

Changes”. The change is immediate.

Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)

To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set Identifier)

is used. The default SSID of the Router is “WLAN”. You can change this to

anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless

networks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is

unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the area). To change

the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use and click “Apply Changes”. 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.

Using the Broadcast SSID Feature

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”, 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.

2. Type in a passphrase. A passphrase is like a password. It can be a mixture of

numbers and letters. After you type in your passphrase, click “Generate”. When

you click “Generate”, the key fields below will become populated. Note: 64-bit

encryption will generate four keys and 128-bit encryption will generate only

one key. Select the key you want to use by clicking the radio button next to

it. Click “Apply Changes”.

Clicking on the “Encryption” link in the “Wireless” tab will take you to the

Encryption settings screen. To make setting up your network for the first time

easy, the Router ships with encryption turned off. If you wish to turn on

encryption, you can do so from this page. Turning on encryption will require you

to set each of your wireless-equipped computers with the same encryption

settings that you make in the Router. Refer to the documentation of your

wireless network adapter for information on making this change.

There are two types of encryption to choose from: 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.

Using encryption will make your network more secure, but will slow down the

network performance. Although network performance will be reduced, it is likely

the change will not be detectable to users of the network.

Setting Encryption Automatically Using a Passphrase

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.

1. Select “64-bit automatically”or “128-bit automatically” from the

drop-down menu.

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.

Setting Encryption Manually Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit

keys are five 2-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 2-digit numbers.

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.

Using the Access Point Mode

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.

1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access Point only”

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.

Configuring the Firewall

Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a

wide array of common hacker attacks including:

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.

• IP Spoofing

• Land Attack

• Ping of Death (PoD)

• Denial of Service (DoS)

• IP with zero length

• Smurf Attack

• SYN flood

• UDP flooding

• Tear Drop Attack

• ICMP defect

• RIP defect

• Fragment flooding

• TCP Null Scan

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.

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”.

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.

Setting Client IP Filters

Setting MAC Address Filtering

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.

The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify

which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to

access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.

When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client

(computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The “Block”

feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer

without having to add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list.

To restrict Internet access to a single computer for example, enter the IP address

of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields (1). Next, enter

“88” in both the port fields (2). Select “Both”(3). Select “Block” (4). You can

also select “Always” to block access all of the time. Select the day to start on

top (5), the time to start on top (6), the day to end on the bottom (7), and

the time to stop (8) on the bottom. Select “Enable” (9). Click “Apply Changes”.

Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

Blocking an ICMP Ping

The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be

placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing

problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application.

Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected

from hacker attacks.

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 the level of security of your Router.

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 effect. If

you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which

WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you

3. The “Update Firmware” box will now display the location and name of the

Changing System Settings

firmware file you just selected. Click “Update”.

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.

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.

4. You will be asked if you are sure you want to continue. Click “OK”.

Changing the Login Timeout Setting

5. You will see one more message. This message tells you that the Router may

not respond for as long as one minute as the firmware is loaded into the

Router and the Router is rebooted. Click “OK”.

The login timeout 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, you have made some changes in the advanced

setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.

Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the

more changes. The login timeout 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.

6. A 60-second countdown will appear on the screen. When the countdown

reaches zero, the Router firmware update will be complete. The Router home

page should appear automatically. If not, type in the Router’s address

(default = 192.168.2.1) into the navigation bar of your browser.

The firmware update is complete.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting the Time and Time Zone

Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)

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. 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.

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.

Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR

PASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the

Router shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other

computers on your network. This function should only be used if your ISP

assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced

system configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the

computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other

problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions.

Enabling Remote Management

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. 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.

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your

Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice

messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-

compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a

specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP

ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-

compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the

Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the

UPnP feature 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.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

Set up the computer that is connected to the cable or DSL modem FIRST using

these steps. You can also use these steps to add computers to your Router after

the Router has been set up to connect to the Internet.

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. The Router ships with

this feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click

“Apply Changes”.
