CONNECTING AND CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER

Easy Install Wizard

Belkin has provided our Easy Install Wizard software to make installing your Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get your Router up and running in minutes. The Easy Install Wizard requires that your Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP computer be connected directly to your cable or DSL modem and that the Internet connection is active and working at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this manual to configure your Router. Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP, you must set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this manual.

IMPORTANT: Run the Easy Install Wizard from the computer that is directly connected to the cable or DSL modem.
