Adsl Modem Router Setup Manual

You are now ready to configure your ADSL modem router to connect to the Internet. There are two ways you can configure your ADSL modem router to connect to the Internet:

a.Let the ADSL modem router Setup Wizard auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have and configure it.

b.Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it.

In either case, use to the configuration parameters your ISP provided to assure that the configuration settings for your Internet connection are correct.

5.Test your Internet connection.

From the bottom of the Setup menu, click Test. If the NETGEAR Web site does not appear within one minute, refer to Chapter 2, “Troubleshooting”.

Your ADSL modem router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your ADSL modem router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer or login application such as Dial-Up Networking or Enternet to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed automatically by the ADSL modem router as needed.

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your ADSL modem router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the ADSL modem router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page.
