Connecting and Configuring Your Router

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