EXTENDER
a.
From a wireless computer, open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape®
Navigator. Connect to the wireless range extender by typing
in the address field of your browser, then click Enter.
For security reasons, the wireless range extender has its own user name and password.
When prompted, enter
admin
for the user name and
password
for the password, both in
lower case letters. To change the password, see “Changing the Administrator Password”
on page 6-7.
Note:
The wireless range extender’s user name and password are not the same as any user
name or password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.
b.
The wireless range extender automatically displays the NETGEAR Setup Wizard
configuration assistant the first time you connect in Router Mode, as shown below:
Figure 7-8:

Note
: If you do not see this page, click Setup Wizard in the main menu on the left.
If you cannot connect to the wireless range extender, verify your computer networking
setup. Your wireless computer should be set to obtain
both
IP and DNS server addresses
automatically, which is usually so. For help with this, see
Appendix C, “Preparing Your
Network”
or the animated tutorials on the CD
.
c.
Click OK. Follow the prompts to proceed with the Smart Wizard configuration assistant to
connect to the Internet.
You are now connected to the Internet and the wireless feature of the wireless range
extender is enabled!

1.
Connect to the wireless range extender by typing
in the address field of
your browser, then click Enter.
2.
For security reasons, the wireless range extender has its own user name and password. When
prompted, enter
admin
for the user name and
password
for the password, both in lower case
letters.
3.
Click Basic Settings on the Setup menu.
4.
If your Internet connection does not require a login, click No at the top of the Basic Settings
menu and fill in the settings according to the instructions below. If your Internet connection
does require a login, click Yes, and skip to step 5.
a.
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name.
These parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news
servers.
b.
Internet IP Address:
If your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your computer,
select “Use Static IP address”. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the
IP Subnet Mask and the Gateway IP address. The Gateway is the ISP’s router to which
your wireless range extender will connect. For the Internet IP address, “Get Dynamically
From ISP” is selected by default.
c.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the wireless
range extender during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of
your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it
also.
Note:
If you enter an address here, restart the computers on your network so that these
settings take effect.
d.
Router’s MAC Address:
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the wireless range
extender on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the Ethernet MAC address of the
network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then
only accept traffic from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your
wireless range extender to masquerade as that computer by “cloning” its MAC address.
To change the MAC address, select “Use this Computer’s MAC address”. The wireless
range extender then captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that you are now
using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Or, select “Use this
MAC address” and type it in here.

If your Internet connection does require a login, fill in the settings according to the instructions
below.
a.
Select your Internet service provider from the drop-down list. Your choices are:
•
PPPoE — if you have installed PPP software such as WinPoET (from Earthlink) or
Enternet (from Pacbell), then you are using PPPoE. For more information, see
“Manual PPPoE Configuration” on page 7-12
.
•
PPTP — this protocol is used in Austria and other European countries. For more
information, see
“Manual PPTP Configuration” on page 7-13
.
b.
The screen changes according to the ISP settings requirements of the ISP you select.
c.
Fill in the parameters for your Internet service provider.
d.
Click
Apply
to save your settings. Click the Test button to verify you have Internet access.
Manual PPPoE Configuration
If your ISP uses PPPoE, select PPPoE for the Internet Service Provider.
•
Enter the Account Name, Domain Name, Login, and Password as provided by your ISP. These
fields are case sensitive. The wireless range extender tries to discover the domain
automatically if you leave the Domain Name blank. Otherwise, you may need to enter it
manually.
•
To change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how long the
wireless range extender keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity
from the LAN. Entering a timeout value of zero means never log out.
Note:
You no longer need to run the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access the
Internet. When you start an Internet application, your wireless range extender automatically logs
you in.
