Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your wireless modem router with the Setup Wizard as described in
Setup
Wizard
on page 27 or manually as described in
Manual Setup (Basic Settings)
on page 28.
However, before you start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information on hand
and make sure the laptops, PCs, and other devices in the network have the settings
described here.
Note:
If you have a Macintosh or Linux system, you have to use the
manual setup method.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you configured your computer to use a static IP address, you need to change the settings
back so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). See
Appendix A,
Supplemental Information
for more information.
Replace an Existing Router
To replace an existing router, disconnect it completely from your network and set it aside
before starting the router setup.
Adapters and Security Settings
A wireless adapter is the wireless radio in your PC or laptop that lets the PC or laptop
connect to a wireless network. Most PCs and laptops come with an adapter already installed,
but if it is outdated or slow, you can purchase a USB adapter to plug into a USB port.
Make sure the wireless adapter in each computer in your wireless network supports the same
security settings as the wireless modem router. See
Wireless Security Requirements and
Recommendations
on page 37 for information about the router’s security settings.
Note:
If you connect devices to your modem router using WPS as
described in
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method
on page 40,
those devices assume the security settings of the router.
Gather ISP Information
You need the following information to set up your wireless 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’s login program on your computer to access the Internet. When
you start an Internet application, your wireless modem router automatically logs you in.
•

•
The ISP configuration information for your ADSL account
-
ISP login name and password
-
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses

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

The router screens display, where you can do things like changing settings or adding
other devices to your network. For a brief description of the available functionality, see
Router Interface
on page 26. For information about adding devices to your network, see
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method
on page 40.
If you do not see the login prompt:
1.
Check the LEDs on the 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 router is connected to a LAN port.
2.
If you connected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the
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 router wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends that
during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in to
the wireless modem router.
Note:
If you cannot connect to the wireless 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.
Upgrade Router Firmware
When you log in and if you are connected to the Internet, the Firmware Upgrade Assistant
screen displays so you can upgrade to the latest available firmware. For more information
about upgrading firmware, see
Chapter 5, Network Maintenance
.
To upgrade the firmware:
1.
Click
Yes
to check for new firmware (recommended). The modem router checks the
NETGEAR database for new firmware.
2.
If no new firmware is available, click
No
to exit. You can check for new firmware later.
3.
If new firmware is available, click
Yes
to upgrade the router with the latest firmware. After the
upgrade, the router restarts.
