Introduction
Thank You for purchasing the Belkin Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway
Router (the Router). In minutes you will be able to network your
computers and share your Internet connection. The following is a list
of features that make your new Router an ideal solution for your home
or small office network.
Key Features
Integrated Wireless 802.11b Access Point
Wide Area Coverage at High Speeds
The Belkin Wireless Access Point provides coverage over an indoor area
up to 300 feet in radius and an outdoor area over 1800 feet in radius.
Up to 128-bit Security Encryption
Your Router is capable of encrypting (scrambling) the transmitted
radio waves so you can be sure that your data is secure. This optional
feature allows you to encrypt at 64-bits or 128-bits using a key that
you enter yourself.
Web-Based User Interface
Setting up the Router’s functions is done through your web browser. You
can do this easily without having to install additional software onto the
computer. There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all,
you can make changes and perform setup functions from any computer
on the network quickly and easily.
NAT Firewall Security
Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to protect your
network from the outside world by isolating it from the Internet. NAT
monitors all of the data coming in from the Internet and will only let
through the information you want.
Integrated 10/100 3-Port Switch
The Router has a built-in, 3-port network switch to allow your wired
computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much
more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the
speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between
computers and the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or
consuming resources.
