The default IP address of your Belkin N Router is the same as the Embarq 660 modem: 192.168.2.1

Here is what you need to do:

Connect only the Belkin router to your PC, for this step you have to temporarily disconnect our 660 modem from the router and turn it off.

Using your Internet browser, you can access the Router’s Web-Based Advanced User Interface. In your browser, type 192.168.2.1 (do not type in anything else such as (http// or www) type just the numbers and then press the Enter key.

There is no password by default, so leave blank.

You will see the Router’s home page in your browser window.

To View the LAN Settings,click on the header of the LAN tab (1) will take you to the LAN tab’s header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. To view the settings or make changes to any of the LAN settings, click on “LAN Settings”.

The default IP Address is 192.168.2.1, please change it to 192.168.1.1 and click on "Apply Changes".

Now exit out of the window and shut down your computer.

Power the router off and make sure the 660 modem is also off.

Re-Connect the modem to the router and wait for a minute.

Turn on the 660 modem on first and wait for the DSL light to turn solid green.

Then turn on your Belkin Router and then your computer.

This should get you online.
