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.

Installing your modem router involves the following high-level steps:

• Connect the Router to Your Internet Service

• Power on Your Router

• Connect a Computer

• Open a Web Browser

Each of these steps is explained in more detail in the following

sections.

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:

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

phone.

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

the microfilter.

3. 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:

1. Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the WAN port

on the router.

2. Connect the other end of the yellow Ethernet cable to your cable/

fiber modem.

Power on Your Router

To power on your router:

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

adapter into an outlet.

2. Wait until the WiFi LED turns solid blue.

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.

Open a Web Browser

To display the NETGEAR genie installation wizard:

1. 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 19.

2. Click Next.

Follow the genie 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 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

password

are here.

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset SSID or

password. If you do change the settings, the security SSID and

password on the bottom of the product no longer apply.

Note: Your network name (SSID) and password are case-sensitive.

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.
