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 at-a-glance whether your Router is connected to the
Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and
status-monitoring procedures.
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.
