Before You Begin

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

Note: 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. This information is included in

the welcome letter your DSL 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. The table on the next page

lists the contact information for some of the primary DSL providers.

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

services, tell them you need only your DSL user name and password;

you do not need support.

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.

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi

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

password on the label no longer apply.

If you changed the name of your network during the setup

process, look for that network name.
