4.If your ISP assigned you a host name, enter the host name here. If not, leave this field blank.

Click “Clone MAC Address”. This will clone (copy) the MAC address of the first PC connected to the Router. This will also ensure that the ISP, if it binds your connection to that MAC address, that it will remain active. Click “Enter” to save the settings.

Finishing Dynamic Setup

At this point, initial setup of the Router is now complete for a dynamic configuration. To verify that your Router is connected to the modem, click on “Status” in the lower left hand corner of the router setup page. The status page shows you a variety of information about the Router’s current state. Under the heading “INTERNET”, the connection status is displayed as “Cable/DSL:” The word “Connected” will appear if the Router is connected to the Internet, this indicates that initial setup was successful.

To begin browsing the Internet, log out of the setup utility by clicking on the “Logout” button. Once you have logged out, type a web address such as www.belkin.com into the browser’s address bar. The browser should take you to the web address you entered. Other computers you have connected to the router should also have access to the Web. If you are having problems, see the troubleshooting section of this manual.
