Have you just bought a new wireless router? Use these tips for an easy Belkin wireless router setup using the Belkin start-up disk.
1) Plug the network cable into the Ethernet port of the router and into the data port of the modem.
2) Place the security card on the bottom of the router.
3) Plug the router into an outlet. A blinking blue light will appear on the top of the router. Once the light stops flashing, you may continue.
4) Insert Belkin’s startup disk into your computer and follow the instructions.
If you do not have the Belkin installation disk, follow these steps:
1) Make sure you have an Ethernet connection.
2) You will be prompted for a password. New routers do not have passwords by default, so click “Submit.” If there was a password already in place, then you will need to reset the Belkin router.
3) On the left side of the page, click on “Connection Type.”
