how do i configure the belkin wireless modem

I spent quite a while yesterday setting up the Belkin wireless router (F5D7230-4) with my BT ZyXel Prestige 600 series modem. It was frustrating at times, but I think these steps should get you up and running in no time;

BT ZyXel Prestige Modem;
1) In the web configurator (192.168.1.1) select the following settings;
Mode - Routing
Encapsulation - PPPoE
Multiplex - LLC
Virtual Circuit ID:
VPI - 8
VCI - 35

Click Next

2) Enter broadband id and password from BT (make sure "@iolbb" is after your username)
3) Make sure "Obtain IP Address automatically" is selected. The rest should be fine

Click through until finished.

Belkin Wireless Router (F5D7230-4);
1) Go the the web configurator in your browser (192.168.2.1)
2) Under the heading "Internet WAN" on the left, select "Connection Type" and choose 'Dynamic'
3) Make sure the "Internet Status" on the top right says "Connected" (in green text). You will never get an internet connection until this says 'Connected'
4) Logout

NB: You may need to wait some time (30mins or so) before trying to use the internet. This happened to me. I had no connection straight after making the above changes, but after going out for 3 hours and returning it was working fine.

Let me know how you get on!

Good luck.
