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.

Install Your Modem Router

Note: Keep your modem router in a vertical position.

1. Connect the router to your Internet service.

You can connect either directly to a DSL line or to a fiber/cable

modem.

To connect to a DSL line:

a. Install an ADSL microfilter between the phone line and the

phone.

b. Connect the ADSL port of the modem router to the ADSL

port of the microfilter

c. Use an ADSL microfilter for every phone line in the house if

your modem router and telephone connect to the same

phone line.

Plugs into the ADSL line

To connect to a cable/fiber modem:

Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the WAN port on

the router, and connect the other end to your cable/fiber modem.

2. Power on your router.

a. Connect the power adapter to the router, and plug the power

adapter into an outlet.

b. Wait until the WiFi LED turns solid blue.

3. Connect a computer.

You can use an Ethernet cable or connect wirelessly.

• Use an Ethernet cable (not provided) to connect your

computer to an Ethernet port on your router.

• Or, connect wirelessly by using the preset wireless security

settings on the label on the bottom of the router.

4. Open a web browser.

The NETGEAR genie installation wizard displays.

If you do not see the genie screen, close and reopen the browser,

and enter http://routerlogin.net in the address bar. See

Troubleshooting on page 15.

5. Click Next to allow the genie to help you. Follow the steps to set up

your Internet connection.

Note for DSL: If your DSL Internet service requires a user name

or password, you are prompted to enter this information. If you do

not have this information, contact your Internet service provider

(see Before You Begin (DSL Connection) on page 2).

Preset Wireless Security

This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network

key (password). The default SSID and network key (password) are

uniquely generated for every device, like a serial number, to protect

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

on the bottom of the product.

The WiFi

network name

(SSID) and

Passphase

are here.

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi

network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do change

the settings, the security SSID and password on the bottom of the

product no longer apply.

Note: Your network names (SSIDs) and passphrases are case-

sensitive. Your network name, security method, and passphrase need

to be the same for all the wireless devices that are connected to your

router on a network.

Wireless Network Settings

Record the default preset wireless settings that are printed on the

label in the spaces here for easy reference.

2.4-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):

2.4-GHz network key (password):

5-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):

5-GHz network key (password):

If you change the default settings, record them here for easy

reference, and then store this booklet in a safe place:

2.4-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):

2.4-GHz network key (password):

5-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):

5-GHz network key (Password):

To retrieve or update your wireless password, type



http://www.routerlogin.net in a web browser and log in using the

default user name (admin) and password (password).

Select Basic > Wireless Settings to locate your wireless passwords.

Join the Wireless Network

You can use either the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method or the

manual method to join your wireless network.

WPS Method

WPS lets you join your WiFi network without typing the password.

If your wireless device supports WPS, the first time you join the

network, you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the

modem router.

1. Press the WPS button on the modem router.

2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the computer or

wireless device that is trying to join the network. Follow the WPS

instructions that came with your computer or wireless device to join

the network.

Note: Some older wireless computers or devices cannot use WPS.

Manual Method

1. On your computer or wireless device, open the software that

manages its wireless connections. This software scans for

wireless networks in your area.

2. Look for the WiFi network name (SSID) on the list and select it. The

SSID is on the label on the bottom of the modem router.

Note: If you changed the name of your network during the setup

process, look for that network name.

3. Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you

changed it), and click Connect.
