Modem Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your modem router with the NETGEAR Genie as described in
NETGEAR
Genie Setup
on page
19, with the Setup Wizard as described in
Setup Wizard
on page
22, or
manually as described in
Manual Setup (Basic Settings)
on page
23. However, before you
start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information and to make sure the laptops,
PCs, and other devices in the network have the settings described here.
Note:
For a Macintosh or Linux system, you have to use manual setup.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you have to change the settings back
so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Replace an Existing Modem and Router
To replace an existing modem and router, disconnect them and set them aside before starting
the modem router setup.
Gather ISP Information
You need the following information to set up your modem router and to check that your
Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service provider (ISP) should have provided
you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this
information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your modem router Internet connection is set
up, you no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer to access the
Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router automatically logs you in.
•
Active Internet service provided by a DSL account
•
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
-
ISP login name and password
-
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
-
Fixed or static IP address
-
Host and domain names
-
Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you could need to know
one or more of these settings for a manual setup:
-
Virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
-
Multiplexing method
-
Host and domain names

NETGEAR Genie Setup
NETGEAR Genie is on the
Resource CD
and runs on a PC with Microsoft Windows 7,
Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later. It is the easiest
way to set up the modem router because it automates many steps and verifies that those
steps have been successfully completed. It takes about 15
minutes to complete.
Before running NETGEAR Genie on a corporate PC, check with your company’s network
support staff. Corporate network settings or virtual private network (VPN) client software
might conflict with your modem router settings. To avoid a conflict, use another PC.
1.
Locate the DSL settings information (user name and password) provided by your ISP.
Contact your ISP if you do not have it.
2.
Insert the
Resource CD
into your Windows PC. The CD starts and detects the language you
are using on your PC. Select a different language option, if you prefer.
If the CD does not start, go to the CD drive (under My Computer on Windows), browse
the CD, and double-click
.
3.
When the Welcome
screen displays, click
Setup
to start the genie. Follow the instructions to
complete the setup. NETGEAR Genie checks your hardware setup and guides you through
connecting the modem router to the Internet and adding computers to your network.
Your modem router connects to the Internet when any computer on your network
launches a Web browser to access the Internet. The modem router’s Internet LED
blinks.
View or Change Settings
You can view and change the settings in the following ways:
•
Log in to your modem router. To do this you can click the shortcut
that was placed
on your desktop during the NETGEAR Genie setup, or use an Internet browser. See
Log
In to the Modem Router
on page
20.
•
Open the Router_Setup.html file that was placed on your desktop during the NETGEAR
Genie setup. This file has setup and system information, the NETGEAR Technical
Support phone number, links to the NETGEAR website, and a modem router login link.
Settings Description
When the NETGEAR Genie is done, your modem router has the following settings. Some of
these can be viewed in Router_Setup.html.
•
Language and country as described in
Setup Wizard
on page
22.
•
Internet connection settings as described in
Table
2, Basic Settings Screen Description
on page
24.
•
Network settings. The NETGEAR Genie steps you through connecting from your

Log In to the Modem Router
Log in to the modem router to view or change settings or to set up the modem router.
1.
Type
in the address field of your browser and press
Enter
to display
the login window. You can also enter either of these addresses to access the modem
router:
or
.
2.
Enter
admin
for the user name and
password
for the password, both in lowercase letters.
Note:
The modem router user name and password are probably different
from the user name and password for logging in to your Internet
connection. See
Types of Logins
on page
28 for more information.
The modem router screen displays as described in
Modem Router Interface
on page
21.
If you do not see the login prompt:
1.
Check the LEDs on the modem router front panel to make sure that the modem router is
plugged into an electrical outlet, its power is on, and the Ethernet cable between your
computer and the modem router is connected to a LAN port.
2.
If you connected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the
modem router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN
connection. Relaunch your browser and try again.
3.
If you are having trouble accessing the modem router wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends
that during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in
to the modem router.
4.
If you cannot connect to the modem router, check the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties
in the Network Connections section of your PC Control Panel. They should be set to obtain
both IP and DNS server addresses automatically. See your computer documentation.
