Connecting and Configuring your Router

Setup Assistant

Belkin has provided Setup Assistant 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 Setup Assistant requires that your Windows 2000, XP, or Vista™ computer be connected directly to your ADSL 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 User Manual to configure your Router. Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, or Mac OS X, you must use the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this User Manual.

Quick Installation Guide (QIG)

1A.3 Retrieve the included gray RJ11 phone cord. Connect one end to the gray port labeled “DSL” on the back of your Router. Then, connect the other end to your ADSL connection (either a wall jack or an ADSL splitter).

Note: Some ADSL connections require a microfilter. Your ADSL provider can tell you if you need one. Belkin includes a microfilter in regions known to use them. To determine if you need a microfilter, please refer to your ADSL provider’s user manual.
