1  Connect your Router’s Ethernet cable to your modem’s Ethernet  
port (on the back of your modem). This port might be labeled  
differently on your particular modem. If you are adding a  
Router for the first time, this port may be connected to your  
computer by an Ethernet cable. It is OK to disconnect your  
computer and plug the Router into the modem instead.  
2  Plug the Router’s power supply into a wall outlet.

found on materials that came from your ISP when you  
signed up for service. If necessary, you may need to contact  
your ISP to retrieve your username and password.  
If you have a static IP address, you may need to enter  
additional information also provided by your ISP.  
If your computer doesn’t have a wireless adapter, or the

Manually  
Using the WPs button  
If you choose not to use the included Setup CD for  
adding additional computers or wireless devices, you  
can manually add these items to your network.  
1  Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your  
computer or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect  
wirelessly to your Router. Often there will be a button for this  
purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical  
“WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself.  
1  Locate the wireless-network-connections option  
on your computer or wireless device.  
2  Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Router.  
2  Select your Belkin Router from the list of available networks. You  
can identify your Belkin Router by locating the network name  
(SSID) from the card located underneath the foot of your Router.  
The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it  
listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the  
light will turn blue and then go out. If a connection is not established,  
the light will blink amber. You may repeat the process to try again.  
3  Enter your network password (located on  
your network information card).  
You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled  
device you’d like to add to your network.  
Your wireless device will take a few moments to connect to your  
network. If the connection is not made the first time, try this  
process again. If you still have difficulty connecting to your network  
after trying this process a few times, see the “Troubleshooting”  
section in this manual for help with connecting to your network.  
note: In some cases you may be prompted to select the  
security type. It is printed on the card for your convenience.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to  
range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer  
within 10 feet from the Router if possible.  
Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local  
wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless  
channel of your network can improve performance and  
reliability. See the section titled “Changing the Wireless  
Channel” for instructions on how to choose other channels.

limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit  
rate can help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless  
cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this  
property in Windows, 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, then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property.  
I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients  
(computers, game consoles, etc ) are now unable to connect  
Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and  
password, found printed on an attached card. All clients must use this  
network name and password to connect wirelessly to your Router.  
You will need to find the network settings on your client, select the  
network name printed on the card from the list of available networks,  
and enter the password when prompted to join the wireless network.  
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.
