Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:

• Category 5 Networking Cable (for connecting the Router to the computer)

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.

Easy Install Wizard
Belkin has provided our Easy Install Wizard 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 Easy Install Wizard
requires that your Windows 98SE, Me, 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 “Alternative Setup Method” section of this User Manual to configure
your Router. Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than Windows 98SE, Me,
2000, or XP, you must set up the Router using the “Alternative Setup Method” section of this User
Manual.
