STEP 2: Connect your computers to Router

Connecting Wired Computers to the Router

Up to three wired computers can be connected directly to the Router. In order for you to be able to connect your wired computers to the Router, each must be equipped with a network interface card (NIC) such as an internal PCI card (for desktop computers), a PC card (for laptop computers) or a USB Ethernet adapter (an alternative for USB-equipped computers only). Each computer connects to the Router via a network cable. You will need one network cable for each PC. The Router also connects to your cable or DSL modem via a network cable. Be sure you have the proper parts before starting. NOTE: Some cable or DSL modems connect to your computer using USB. Your cable or DSL modem must have an Ethernet connector on it to connect the Router. If your modem does not have an Ethernet connection, you must use a Belkin 5- or 8-Port Network Switch rather than the Router.

Connecting Wireless Computers to the Router

Wireless computers can directly access the router once the Router and your computers have been properly configured to do so. First, follow the steps to connect your modem to the Router, then skip to section “Step 3b: Setting up Wireless Computers for Connection to the Router”, on page 32, following.

Connect Your Equipment

Refer to the diagram below to aid in the connection process. Before beginning, please note that the connection process involves powering down your equipment and then powering it back up in correct sequence.

It is important that the equipment is powered on in the following order: modem first, Router second, computers last. Failure to follow this sequence may cause the network to fail to work properly.

1.Power down your equipment.

Make sure that you have followed the steps to find your network configuration settings before you begin connecting your equipment. Be sure that the power to the Router, your modem, and all of your computers has been turned OFF.
