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.
Setup Assistant
Belkin has provided our 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, Vista, or Mac OS X v10.4 or v10.5 computer be connected
directly to your cable or DSL modem 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, Vista, or Mac OS X v10.4 or v10.5, you must
set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this
User Manual.
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.
