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.

Unpack your new Router from
the box and place it next to your

was included with your Router. First,

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.
