The language is set to English by default. The default language, as well as German, Russian, and
Portuguese are always stored in memory. When you select a language other than those
automatically stored in flash memory, if you are connected to the Internet at the time you select it,
that language is also stored in memory.
•
If you are connected to the Internet and select a language that is not already stored in flash
memory, the language is downloaded from the NETGEAR server and stored in the current
language partition of flash memory.
•
If you are not connected to the Internet when you select a language, you can only select as the
current language one of the languages that is stored in flash memory.
To specify a language to be used on your router manager screens, do the following:
1.
Expand the list and select the language you want.

Using the Setup Wizard
You can manually configure your Internet connection using the Basic Settings screen, or you can
allow the Smart Setup Wizard to detect your Internet connection. The Smart Setup Wizard
searches your Internet connection for servers and protocols to determine your ISP configuration.
This feature is not the same as the Smart Wizard on the
Resource CD
that is used for installation.
To use the Smart Setup Wizard to assist with configuration or to verify the Internet connection
settings, follow this procedure:
1.
From the top of the main menu, select
Setup Wizard
.
2.
Select
Yes
for the Auto-Detect Connection Type, and then click
Next
to proceed.
3.
Enter your ISP settings, as needed.
4.
At the end of the Setup Wizard, click
Test
to verify your Internet connection. If you have
trouble connecting to the Internet, see
Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting
.”
Viewing or Manually Configuring Your ISP Settings
To view or configure the basic settings:
1.
Log in to the wireless router as described in
“Logging In to Your Wireless Router” on
page 1-2
.
2.
On the Basic Settings screen, select
Yes
or
No
depending on whether your ISP requires a
login. This selection changes the fields available on the Basic Settings screen.
•
Yes
. If your ISP requires a login, select the encapsulation method. Enter the login name. If
you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in minutes.
•
No
. If your ISP does not require a login, enter the account name, if required, and the
domain name, if required.
Note:
If you are not connected to the Internet and select a language that is not stored
in flash memory, your selection may fail. If you see a “download fails”
message after your language selection, make sure you are connected to the
Internet and make your selection again.

When your Internet connection is working, you do not need to launch the ISP’s login program on
your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your wireless router
automatically logs you in.
The fields that are displayed depend on whether or not your Internet connection requires a login.
The following table explains the fields in the Basic Settings screen.
