These ports correspond to the numbered LEDs on the front of the Router. Connect your network-enabled computers or any networking devices to one of these ports. 9 9 Connecting your Router Positioning your Router Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your networks radio waves are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. Please see Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup in this User Manual for more guidelines. If you have concerns about your networks performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between five and 10 feet from the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please see the Troubleshooting section for solutions. Connecting your Computers 1. Power off your computers and networking equipment. 2. Connect your computer to one of the YELLOW RJ45 ports on the rear of the Router labeled connections to your computers by using an Ethernet networking cable (one Ethernet network cable is supplied). 10 10 Connecting your Router Connecting your ADSL Line Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and region. Typically it involves a microfilter or a microfilter with built-in splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select appropriate method. 1. 2. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line, ADSL microfilters are needed for each telephone and device, such as answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional splitters may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and the Router. Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the walljack and the router. This will prevent ADSL service from reaching the modem. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line and you are using an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then, connect the telephone cord from the ADSL microfilter RJ11 port generally labeled DSL to the gray RJ11 port labeled DSL line on the back of your Router. Connect telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly labeled Phone. An additional ADSL microfilter is needed for another telephone and device on the same line. Note: One RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. s e c t i o n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 Connecting your Router 3. 4. If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the gray RJ11 port labeled DSL line on the back of your Router. If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an RJ45-

to-RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then connect one end of a telephone cord to the converter and the other end to the gray RJ11 port labeled DSL line on the back of your Router. Note: ADSL microfilter may or may not be provided depending on your country. Powering up your Router 1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Router power-input plug labeled Power.

LAN Settings Clicking on the header of the LAN tab (A) will take you to the LAN tabs header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. To view the settings or make changes to any of the LAN settings, click on LAN Settings (B) or to view the list of connected computers, click on DHCP Client List (C). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n 1. IP Address The IP address is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP address is 192.168.2.1. To access the setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click Apply Changes. The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255) 10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255) 2. Subnet Mask There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced feature of your Belkin Router. 19 19 Manually Configuring your Router 3. DHCP Server The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default setting is On. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary, however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server, select Off and click Apply Changes. 4. IP Pool The IP Pool is the range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your network. The default is 2100 (99 computers). If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address and clicking on Apply Changes. The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-

client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address. 20 20 Manually Configuring your Router 5. Lease Time Lease time is the length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to Forever. The default setting is Forever, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals, such as one day or one hour, frees IP addresses after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computers IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced features of the Router, such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change. 6. Local Domain Name The default setting is Belkin. You can set a local domain name (network name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the network anything you want such as MY NETWORK. DHCP Client List You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the computer, the host name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) of the computers Network Interface Card (NIC). Pressing the Refresh (4) button will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Internet WAN The Internet WAN tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your Internet Service Provider. The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any ADSL Service Providers system provided you have correctly configured the Routers settings for your ISPs connection type. Your connection settings are provided to you by your ISP. 21 21 Manually Configuring your Router To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click Connection Type (1) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking DNS (2) allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings.

DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings A Domain Name Server is a server located on the Internet that translates Universal Resource Links (URLs) like www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. The Automatic from ISP box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address. 26 26 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router Leave the Automatic from ISP box checked. To enter the DNS address settings, uncheck the Automatic from ISP box and enter your DNS entries in the spaces provided. Click Apply Changes (2) to save the settings. Using DDNS (Dynamic DNS) The DDNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free to the Internet community. TZO.com is another alternative to DynDNS.org. DDNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while youre at work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!

To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http://www.dyndns.org. 27 27 Manually Configuring your Router Setting up the Routers Dynamic DNS Update Client You must register with DynDNS.orgs free update service before using this feature.

Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change. 2. Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your networks SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, select DISABLE and then click Apply Changes. The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of ANY will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change. Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. 29 29 Manually Configuring your Router 3. Using the Wireless Mode Switch Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: Mixed (11b+11g), 11g Only, and 11b Only. The different modes are explained below. Mixed (11b+11g) Mode In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures successful operation with all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend leave the setting as defaultThis setting should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so. 11g Only Mode802.11g-Only mode works with 802.11g clients only. This mode is recommended only if you want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes, select the desired mode from the Wireless Mode drop-down box. Then, click Apply Changes. 11b Only ModeWe recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards. 4. Changing the Wireless Channel There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the country you reside in. The default is Auto. The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list. Click Apply Changes. The change is immediate. 30 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router Encryption/Security Securing your Wi-Fi Network Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this User Manuals publication, there are three encryption methods available. Name 64-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy Wi-Fi Protected Access-TKIP Wi-Fi Protected Access-AES Acronym 64-bit WEP 128-bit WEP WPA-TKIP WPA-AES Security Good Better Best Best Features Static keys Static keys Dynamic key encryption and mutual authentication. Dynamic key encryption and mutual authentication. Encryption keys based on RC4 algorithm

(typically 40-bit keys) More secure than 64-bit WEP using a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system generated data. TKIP (temporal key integrity protocol) added so that keys are rotated and encryption is strengthened. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) does not cause any throughput loss. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network. 64-Bit WEP 64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode. 31 31 Manually Configuring your Router 128-Bit WEP As a result of 64-bit WEPs potential security weaknesses, a more secure method of 128-bit encryption was developed. 128-bit encryption includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 128-bit as 104-bit encryption. Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Belkin wireless products will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP Encryption Keys After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption mode, it is critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another on your network and you will not be able to successfully communicate within your network. You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the Passphrase field and click Generate to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from AF and 09. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys. For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your wireless card uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware manufacturers might have different methods for generating the keys. If you have equipment from multiple vendors in your network, you can use the hex WEP key from your Router or access point and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your wireless cards configuration screen. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support WPA. These updates will be found on the wireless vendors websites. There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with 802.1x radius server). 32 32 Manually Configuring your Router 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n WPA-PSK (no server) This method uses what is known as a Pre-Shared key as the Network key. A Network key is basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the same Network key to access the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment. WPA (with 802.1x radius server) With this system, a radius server distributes the Network key to the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment. WPA2 The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of WPA based 802.11i standard. It offers higher level of wireless security by combining advanced network authentication and stronger AES encryption method. WPA2 Requirements IMPORTANT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manuals publication, a couple security patches are available, for free download, from Microsoft. These patches work only with the Windows XP operating system. Other operating systems are not supported at this time. For Windows XP computer that does not have Service Pack 2 (SP2), a file from Microsoft called Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access (KB 826942) is available for free download at http://support. microsoft.com/?kbid=826942 For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2

(KB893357). The update can be download from: http://support.microsoft. com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;893357 IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client cards /

adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed the latest driver. Most of the Belkin Wireless cards have update driver available for download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/networking. For a list of Belkin wireless products that support WPA/WPA2, please visit our website at www.belkin.com/networking. 33 33 Manually Configuring your Router Sharing the Same Network Keys Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have your network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure your wireless networking devices are sharing the same Network key. Network key=

WRONG Password The Wireless G Desktop Network Card cannot access the network because it is using a different Network key than the Network key that is configured on the Wireless G Router. Wireless G USB Network Adapter Using a Hexadecimal Key A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from AF and 09. 64-bit keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 two-digit numbers. For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between AF and 09 in each box. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers. Example AF 0F 4B C3 D4 64-bit key 128-bit key 34 34 Manually Configuring your Router Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption. WEP Setup 1. Select WEP from the drop-down menu. 2. Select WEP Mode of 64-bit or 128-bit 3. After selecting your WEP mode, you can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from AF and 09. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys. For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n 35 35 Manually Configuring your Router 3. Click Apply Changes to finish. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same security settings. WARNING: If you are configuring the Wireless Router or access point from a computer with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned ON for this wireless client. If this is not done, you will lose your wireless connection. Changing the Wireless Security Settings Your Router is equipped with WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the latest wireless security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard, WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you must first determine which standard you want to use. To access the security settings, click Security on the Wireless tab. WPA Setup Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and software that support it. At the time of this User Manuals publication, a security patch download is available free from Microsoft. This patch works only with the Windows XP operating system. You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless G Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support site. Other operating systems are not supported at this time. Microsofts patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin 802.11g products. There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA

(with radius server). WPA-PSK (no server) uses a so-called Pre-Shared key as the security key. A Pre-Shared key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client uses the same key to access the network. Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment. WPA (with radius server) is a configuration wherein a radius server distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically use d in a business environment. WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced encryption technique over WPA. 36 36 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router Setting WPA/WPA2-PSK (no server) 1.

When you have typed in the address, click Apply Changes. 9. Bridging is now set up. Note: It may take up to a minute for the bridged connection to properly establish itself. In some cases it may be necessary to restart the access point and the router to initiate the bridge. 47 47 Manually Configuring your Router Firewall Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:

IP Spoofing Land Attack Ping of Death (PoD) Denial of Service (DoS) IP with zero length Smurf Attack TCP Null Scan SYN flood UDP flooding Tear Drop Attack ICMP defect RIP defect Fragment flooding The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks. These ports appear to be Stealth, meaning that essentially they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. 48 48 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router Virtual Servers Virtual servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications, through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be seen. If you need to configure the virtual server function for a specific application, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. You can manually input this port information into the Router. Choosing an Application Select your application from the drop-down list. Click Add. The settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen. Click Apply Changes to save the setting for that application. To remove an application, select the number of the row that you want to remove then click Clear. Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass, select the port type (TCP or UDP), and click Apply Changes. Each inbound port entry has two fields with 5 characters maximum per field that allows a start and end port range, e.g. [xxxxx]-[xxxxx]. For each entry, you can enter a single port value by filling in the two fields with the same value (e.g. [7500]-

[7500] or a wide range of ports (e.g. [7500]-[9000]). If you need multiple single port value or mixture of ranges and a single value, you must use multiple entries up to the maximum of 20 entries (e.g. 1. [7500]-[7500], 2.

[8023]-[8023], 3. [9000]-[9000]). You can only pass one port per internal IP address. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application. 49 49 Manually Configuring your Router Client IP Filters The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers. Access Control Access control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or denied access through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic. To configure restrictive access to your computers, do the following:

1. Click Add PC on the Access Control screen. 2. Define the appropriate settings for client PC services (as shown on the following screen). 50 50 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router 3.

To modify an existing rule, click the Edit option next to the rule you want to modify. To create a new rule, click on the Add PC option. From the Access Control > Add PC section, check the option for WWW with URL Blocking in the Client PC Service table to filter out the websites and keywords specified. Schedule Rule You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. Each access control rule may be activated at a scheduled time. Define the schedule on the Schedule Rule, and apply the rule on the Access Control page. 52 52 Manually Configuring your Router Follow these steps to add a schedule:

1. Click Add Schedule Rule. 2. You will see the following screen. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 s e c t i o n 3. To configure the schedule rule, specify the name, comment, start time, and end time that you want to filter on your network. 10 4. Click OK and then Apply Changes to save your settings. 5. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access rule in the Client IP filters section. This activates the schedule for use in the Access Control page. 53 53 Manually Configuring your Router Setting MAC Address Filtering The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The Block feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer without having to add and remove the computers MAC address from the list. To enable this feature, select Enable MAC Address Filtering

(1). Next, select the access rule as Allow or Deny. Then enter the MAC address of each computer on your network by selecting from the DHCP Client List drop-down box (2) and the ID to copy to (3) before click Copy to. Or by clicking in the space provided (4) and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list. Click Apply Changes (5) to save the settings. To delete a MAC address from the list, simply click Delete next to the MAC address you wish to delete. Click Apply Changes to save the settings.Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using to access the Routers administrative functions (the computer you are using now). 54 54 Manually Configuring your Router 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks. 55 55 Manually Configuring your Router To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP field and select Enable. Click Apply Changes for the change to take effect. If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, select Enable and click Apply Changes. Blocking an ICMP Ping Computer hackers use what is known as pinging to find potential victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens the level of security of your Router. To turn off the ping response, select Block ICMP Ping (1) and click Apply Changes. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping. 56 56 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router Utilities The Utilities screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router and perform certain administrative functions.

If not, type in the Routers address (default = 192.168.2.1) into the navigation bar of your browser. System Settings The System Settings page is where you can enter a new administrator password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off the UPnP function of the Router. Setting or Changing the Administrator Password The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature of your Router. 63 63 Manually Configuring your Router Changing the Login Time-Out Setting The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be logged into the Routers advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking Logout. Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to log into the Router again to make any more changes. The login time-

out option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Routers advanced setup interface at one time. Setting the Time and Time Zone The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol

(SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a check mark in the box next to Automatically Adjust Daylight Saving. The system clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself. You now have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP server to keep your routers clock synchronize with different NTP time servers on the Internet. Select from the drop down boxes your desire NTP server. Or simply keep it as is. 64 64 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Manually Configuring your Router Enabling Remote Management Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to make changes to your Routers settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting Any IP address can remotely manage the Router. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router from in the space provided and select Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion. The Remote Access Port is default to port 8080. You can a different port by entering a new port number for the remote port field. Click on the Apply Changes button to save your settings. 65 65 Manually Configuring your Router Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation) Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network. This function should only be used if your ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions. Enabling/Disabling UPnP UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-

compliant. Some applications require the Routers firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically telling the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select Enable in the UPnP Enabling section of the Utilities page. Click Apply Changes to save the change. 66 66 Manually Configuring your Router Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is available. When you log into the Routers Web-Based Advanced User Interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. The Router ships with this feature disabled. If you want to disable it, select Enable and click Apply Changes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n 67 67 Setting Up your Computers In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you will need to change your computers TCP/IP / Ethernet settings to Obtain an IP address automatically / Using DHCP.

Using a computer that is connected to the Router via a network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that Broadcast SSID is enabled. This setting is found on the Routers wireless Channel and SSID configuration page. If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support. Problem:

My wireless network performance is inconsistent. Data transfer is sometimes slow. Signal strength is poor. Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Solution:

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther from the Router or Access Point. 81 81 Troubleshooting In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet from the Router. Changing the wireless channel - Depending on local wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve performance and reliability. The default channel the Router is shipped with is channel 11, you may choose from several other channels depending on your region;

see the section entitled Changing the Wireless Channel on page XX for instructions on how to choose other channels. Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open Network Connections and double-click on your wireless cards connection. In the Properties dialog, select the Configure button on the General tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box and then click Properties), then choose the Advanced tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment; note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless cards user manual. Problem:

To access the advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click Apply Changes. The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255) 10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255) Subnet Mask Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts. These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable sections, called subnets. The subnet mask is the network address plus the information reserved for identifying the subnetwork. DNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal Resource Links) like www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address. PPPoE (routing mode, for multiple PCs) Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the service. Your connection type is PPPoE if:

1. Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to connect to the Internet. 93 93 Appendixes 2. Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that you use to connect to the Internet. 3. You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to get on the Internet. To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password in the spaces provided. After you have typed in your information, click Apply Changes. After you apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will read connection OK if your Router is set up properly. PPPoA (routing mode, for multiple PCs) Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click Next. Click Apply to activate your settings. 1. User name - Enter the user name. (Assigned by your ISP). 2. Password - Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP). 3. Retype Password - Confirm the password. (Assigned by your ISP). 4. VPI/VCI - Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP). Disconnect after X... This feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance, placing a check mark next to this option and entering 5 into the minute field will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no Internet activity. This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service by the minute. Channel and SSID To change the channel of operation of the Router, select the desired channel from the drop-down menu and select your channel. Click Apply Changes to save the setting. You can also change the SSID. The SSID is the equivalent to the wireless networks name. You can make the SSID anything you want to. If there are other wireless networks in your area, you should give your wireless network a unique name. Click inside of the SSID box and type in a new name. Click Apply Changes to make the change. 94 94 Appendixes ESSID Broadcast Many wireless network adapters currently on the market possess a feature known as site survey. It scans the air for any available network and allows each computer to automatically select a network from the survey. This occurs if the computers SSID is set to ANY. Your Belkin Router can block this random search for a network. If you disable the ESSID Broadcast feature, the only way a computer can join your network is by its SSID being set to the specific name of the network (like WLAN). Be sure that you know your SSID (network name) before enabling this feature. It is possible to make your wireless network nearly invisible. By turning off the broadcast of the SSID, your network will not appear in a site survey. Obviously, turning off the broadcast feature of the SSID helps increase security. Encryption Setting encryption can help keep your network secure. The Router uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption to protect your data and features two rates of encryption: 64-bit and 128-bit. Encryption works on a system of keys. The key on the computer must match the key on the Router, and there are two ways to make a key. The easiest is to let the Routers software convert a passphrase youve created into a key. The advanced method is to enter the keys manually. Virtual Servers This function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be seen. If you need to configure the virtual server function for a specific application, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the internal machine, the port type (TCP or UDP), and the LAN and public port(s) required to pass. Then select Enable and click Set. You can only pass one port per internal IP address. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n 95 95 Appendixes Client IP Filters The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers. URL Blocking To configure the URL blocking feature, specify the websites (www.somesite. com) and/or keywords you want to filter on your network. Click Apply Changes to activate the change. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access rule in the client IP filters section. To modify an existing rule, click the Edit option next to the rule you want to modify. To create a new rule, click on the Add PC option. From the Access Control Add PC section, check the option for WWW with URL Blocking in the Client PC Service table to filter out the websites and keywords specified. Schedule Rule To configure the schedule rule, specify the name, comment, start time, and end time that you want to filter on your network. This page defines schedule rule names and activates the schedule for use in the Access Control page. MAC Address Filtering The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client on your network to allow network access to each or copy the MAC address by selecting the name of the computer from the DHCP Client List. To enable this feature, select Enable. Next, click Apply Changes to save the settings. DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks. To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its LAN IP address in the Static IP field and click Apply Changes for the change to take effect. If you have only one public (WAN) IP address, then you 96 96 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Appendixes can leave the public IP to 0.0.0.0. If you are using multiple public (WAN) IP addresses, it is possible to select which public (WAN) IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the public (WAN) IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, and click Apply Changes. Administrator Password The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for more security, you can set a password from your Routers web-based user interface. Keep your password in a safe place as you will need this password if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature. The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be logged into the Routers advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking Logout. Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to log into the Router again to make any more changes. The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes. Note, only one computer can be logged into the Routers advanced setup interface at a time. Time and Time Zone The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol

(SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to Enable Daylight Saving. The system clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself. Remote Management Before you enable this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to make changes to your Routers settings from anywhere on the Internet. 97 97 Appendixes UPnP UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Routers firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports and in some instances setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically telling the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select Enable in the UPnP Enabling section of the Utilities page. Click Apply Changes to save the change. Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help. 1. Wireless Router (or Access Point) Placement Place your wireless router (or access point), the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices. To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your wireless clients

(i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

Ensure that your wireless routers (or access points) networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically

(toward the ceiling). If your wireless router (or access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas a much as possible in an upward direction. 98 98 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Appendixes In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or access point) on a floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the wireless router (or access point) on an upper floor. Try not to place the wireless router (or access point) near a cordless 2.4GHz phone. Refrigerators 2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference Avoid placing your wireless router (or access point) near devices that may emit radio noise, such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:

Washers and/or dryers Metal cabinets Metallic-based UV tinted windows If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signals path

(between your computers and wireless router or access point). Large aquariums 3. Cordless Phones If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

Try moving cordless phones away from wireless routers (or access points) and your wireless-enabled computers. Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturers information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering. If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your wireless router (or access point) to channel 11. See your phones user manual for detailed instructions. If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone. 99 99 Appendixes 4. Choose the Quietest Channel for your Wireless Network In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with yours. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless LAN Utility of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapters manual), and move your wireless router (or access point) and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible. Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices. For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information included in your User Manual. These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your wireless router (or access point). Should you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point. 100 100 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 s e c t i o n Appendixes 5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used where security is important. Secure connections include:

Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect remotely to an office network The Bring Your Own Access program from America Online

(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another cable or DSL service Most online banking websites Many commercial websites that require a user name and password to access your account Secure connections can be interrupted by a computers power management setting, which causes it to go to sleep. The simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website. A second alternative is to change your computers power management settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this may not be appropriate for portable computers. To change your power management setting under Windows, see the Power Options item in the Control Panel. If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed these issues. 101 101 Appendixes Appendix C: Internet Connection Setting Table The following table provides references to select and configure Internet connection in setting up your ADSL connection. Many ISPs use different settings depending on the region and equipment they use. You may try the setting for the ISPs in your region.
