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® 98, 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 the User Manual to configure your
Router. Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than
Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP, you must set up the Router using the
“Alternative Setup Method”.
