INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router (the Router). In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and network your computers. The following is a list of features that make your new Router an ideal solution for your home or small office network.
Key Features
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.
NOTE: Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows 98, 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.
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, 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).
Front-Panel Connected LED Display
Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions are in operation. You’ll know
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.
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.
NAT IP Address Sharing
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.
