Before You Begin (DSL Connection)

If you are connecting to a DSL line, make sure that your DSL service

is active before you install the modem router. You need the

information listed here to install your DSL modem and connect to the

Internet. Locate it and have it on hand before you start the installation

procedure.

•DSL user name and password. These are included in the

welcome letter your DSL Internet service provider (ISP) sent you

when you signed up for your service. Record your DSL Internet

service account user name and password here:

User name:

Password:

•Your telephone number or DSL account number. If you do not

have voice service, you can use your DSL account number in

place of a phone number.

If you do not know or cannot locate your user name and

password, call your DSL Internet service provider.

Be specific when speaking with your DSL Internet service

provider. For example, you could say:

I need my DSL service user name and password. Can you help

me?

Note: If your provider says that they do not support NETGEAR

devices, tell them you need only your DSL user name and

password; you do not need support.

maximize your wireless security. This information is on the label on

Your network name, security method, and password need to be the

same for all the wireless devices that are connected to your router on

a network.

label in the spaces here for easy reference.
