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.

Plug the router's power supply into the router and a power outlet.
Plug in your modem and make sure it turns on. If your modem is already on, unplug it,
wait a few seconds, and plug it back in.
