To Setup the router you can either put in the supplied CD that came with your router and follow the instructions. It will then ask you to enter your broadband details which we will have sent you in a letter or you can find out by calling the helpdesk.

You can also go via your web browser at: http://192.168.2.1 . You can then see the following box and type in a password

You should be presented with a wizard so you can setup your router. It should ask you to enter the following:

Country: UK
ISP: Other

Select Next, then ojn the next screen you will need to enter your Suffolk Online Username & Password for your broadband connection. Remeber: This is not the same as your email username and password.

Username: t******@suffolkonline.net
password: this came with your welcome letter. (*If you are insure of this you can call the helpdesk and we can provide this to you)

You will need to enter in your password twice, Once this has been done simply press Next.

The Next screen will ask you to setup an SSID for your wieless network. The Default is: Belkin_G_Plus_Mimo. (This may change depending on the model you purchased).

You can change this to something you know off but this will be what you use to identify your wireless network when connecting a laptop or wireless device to it. Leave the wireless Channel at 11 as this is proberly what would be the best setting unless you have great interferance then change it to another channel.

Once you have entered all this information you will need to click submit and will get a summery screen so you can make sure you have entered everythign in correctly then simply press save & reboot.

This will have setup your router and so all green lights. If it doesnt then either retrace your steps via this guide or call the helpdesk.
