Your Modem may be an ADSL Modem (connected to your phone line) or a Cable Modem (connected to a co-axial aerial, often shared with television). Either way the Modem must have an RJ45 connectionto your PC nota USBconnection. If you have no Modem, or a USB based Modem then you should ensure you buy a Modem Router not just a Router. In order to complete this guide and in so doing connect to the Internet successfully you will need the following equipment; •A working ADSL or Cable Modem (non-Belkin) •Your Belkin Router or Wireless Router•2 x RJ45 Ethernet Cables* •A Computer with an Ethernet (LAN) Port•Power Supplies for the above Hardware. •Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Settings*A cable should have been provided with your Modem to connect it to your PC, and another one was provided with your Belkin Router. TSG-UK-1-008 | Page 1 of 8All Belkin Routers ® To begin with it is best to start from a known working set-up so this guide assumes that you currently have Internet working via your Modem directlyconnected to your Computer –essentially with the Belkin Router not yet in place. The Hardware set-up is now complete and all devices can be powered on if they arenot already. The Router’s LEDs should indicate the Modem and PC connections. Self Help GuideConfiguring Your Router With Your ADSL Or Cable ModemStep 1 –Setting Up The HardwareLocate the RJ45 Cable between your Modem and the Networking (LAN) Port of your Computer. Take note as to the location of this Port on your Computer as you will need it again. Unplug the ‘Modem’Cable from your Computer and plug it into the separate Port on the Rear of the Belkin Router labelled as ‘Internet/WAN’or ‘Connection To Modem’. Next, locate the RJ45 Cable that was supplied with your Belkin Router. This is usually a blue cable. Plug one end of this Cable into ANY one of the LAN Ports of your Belkin Router. These Ports are labelled 1-4. Connect the other end of the same (blue) Cable to the Networking Port of your Computer –the same Port that the Modem used to be connected to. TSG-UK-1-008 | Page 2 of 8 Step 2 -Configuring Your Belkin RouterIn most cases there will be no problems connecting between your PC and your Router now that they are physically connected to one another. To access the Web User Interface of any Belkin Router simply open your Internet Browser (i.e. Internet Explorer) and type the default IP Addressof the Router into the Address Bar. This is usually 192.168.2.1. There is no need to add ‘www’or ‘All being well the Web User Interface will be displayed and you can login to the Router by leaving the Password field blank when prompted. As most UK ISPs require Routers to be configured to use the ‘Dynamic’Connection Type and this is the Default Connection Type of all Belkin Routers the Interface may already show that you have an Internet connection. If the Status Bar of the Router Interface does show ‘Connected’then the Internet Connection should now be working. If however the status is displayed in red as ‘No Connection’even after the Page is refreshed then further action is required. With some UK connections simply powering off your Modem for 10 minutes and then starting it again will allow the Router to be ‘Connected’. Failing this the Router can always be manually configured by using the Menu option ‘Connection Type’. Under the option for ‘Dynamic’there is the option to ‘Clone The Mac Address’. This is required if your ISP has registered the unique MAC Address of your Computers Network Card as a basis for the connection. ‘Cloning’the MAC Address ensures that the Routers unique MAC Address is replaced with that of your Computer so that connectivity can be resumed. We would always advise that you check with your ISP as to which settings they recommend. ®Self Help Guide TSG-UK-1-008 | Page 3 of 8 If you are unable to open the Router’s User Interface (192.168.2.1) then the actual connectivity between PC and Router should be tested. To do this click on the ‘Start’button, locate the ‘Run’option and once the ‘Run’command Window opens type ‘cmd’into the entry field (as shown below) and then press ‘OK’or hit ‘ENTER’. NOTE:‘cmd’is simply an abbreviation of ‘command’which older operating systems will use instead of the abbreviated form. A Black DOS-Window should appear with a flashing cursor. Simply type in ‘ipconfig’and press ‘ENTER’*. *’ipconfig’is an abbreviation of Internet Protocol Configuration –For older Operating Systems use ‘winipcfg’ ®Self Help Guide TSG-UK-1-008 | Page 4 of 8 Troubleshooting –Unable To Connect To The Belkin Router ®Self Help Guide TSG-UK-1-008 | Page 5 of 8 Providing you have a working connection to your Router information similar to that shown below will be displayed; By default all Computer Network Interface Cards (NICs) are set to ‘Obtain an IP Address Automatically’if the Network Card has done this then it will obtain one from the Router which is acti...
