  • Belkin F5D7230 Wireless DSL/Cable Gateway Router

Summary

Instructions

It will be necessary to connect the X-Modem directly to an ethernet equipped computer, to perform configuration changes before connecting to the Belkin router. Set-up instructions are shown in the Quick Start Guide supplied with the modem.

Please note you must use this version or a newer version of firmware the older 2.xx versions are not suitable.
