Prepare to Set Up the WiFi DSL Modem Router
You can set up your WiFi DSL modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you
can use the genie menus and screens to set up your WiFi DSL modem router manually.
However, before you start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information on hand
and make sure the laptops, computers, and other devices in the network have the settings
described here.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you need to change the settings so
that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Gather ISP Information
If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your
WiFi DSL modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet
service provider (ISP) should have provided you with all of the information needed to connect
to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your
Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your
computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your WiFi DSL
modem router automatically logs you in.

Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this situation is rare)
Wireless Devices and Security Settings
Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2
wireless security, which is the wireless security supported by the WiFi DSL modem router.
For information about the WiFi DSL modem router’s preconfigured security settings, see
Basic Wireless Settings
on page 33.
Types of Logins and Access
Different types of logins have different purposes. It is important that you understand the
difference so that you know which login to use when.

NETGEAR genie Setup
NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the
WiFi DSL modem router because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those
steps have been successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.
To use NETGEAR genie to set up your WiFi DSL modem router:
1.
Turn the WiFi DSL modem router on by pressing the
Power On/Off
button, if not done
yet.
2.
Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable to your WiFi DSL modem
router.
3.
Launch your Internet browser.
•
If this installation is the first time you are setting up the Internet connection for your
WiFi DSL modem router, the browser automatically goes to
http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR genie screen displays.
•
If you already used the NETGEAR genie, type
in the
address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen. See
Use
NETGEAR genie after Installation
on page 25.
4.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete NETGEAR genie setup. NETGEAR genie
guides you through connecting the WiFi DSL modem router to the Internet.
If the browser cannot display the web page:
•
Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports,
or wirelessly to the WiFi DSL modem router.
•
Make sure that the WiFi DSL modem router is ready. Its Wireless LED should light.
•
Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the previous
page.
•
Browse to
http://routerlogin.net
.
•
If your computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this situation is uncommon), change
the setting to obtain an IP address automatically from the WiFi DSL modem router.
If the WiFi DSL modem router does not connect to the Internet:
•
Review your settings to be sure that you selected the correct options and typed
everything correctly.
•
Contact your ISP to verify that you have the correct configuration information.
