Modem Requirements
Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port. Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB connection. If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are using the USB connection at this time, you will be instructed to use the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If your modem has only a USB port, you can request a different type of modem from your ISP, or you can, in some cases, purchase a modem that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.
Ethernet USB
ALWAYS INSTALL YOUR ROUTER FIRST! IF YOU ARE INSTALLING NUMEROUS NETWORK DEVICES FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR ROUTER IS CONNECTED AND RUNNING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OTHER NETWORK COMPONENTS SUCH AS NOTEBOOK CARDS AND DESKTOP CARDS.
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, XP or Mac OS 9.2x, X.1.x computer be connected directly to your cable or DSL modem and that the Internet connection is active
