Connecting and Configuring your Router
14
Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:
• Belkin Wireless G Router
• Quick Installation Guide
• Belkin Easy Install Wizard Software CD with User Manual
• RJ45 Ethernet Networking Cable (for connection of the
Router to the computer)
• Power Supply
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.

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.
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 or
XP 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 or XP, you must set up the Router using the
“Alternate Setup Method” section of this User Manual.
