Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.

For cable modem service, use the computer you first used to set up your Internet service.

Two Setup Methods: 1) Smart Wizard Setup 2) Manual Setup

You have two methods available for setting up your router.

Smart Wizard Setup: Click Setup on the CD to use the Smart Wizard.

This option is the easiest. The wizard guides you through the setup process, automates many of the steps, and verifies that necessary conditions exist and that steps you perform have been successfully completed.

This option requires a PC running Microsoft Windows.

Manual Setup: This option is best if you cannot use the wizard on the CD, are replacing an existing router, or are technically knowledgeable. Follow the instructions in this manual to set up your router.

Use the setup option that best suites you.

Smart Wizard Setup

The wizard setup process should take about 20 minutes to complete.

1.Insert the NETGEAR Resource CD into a Windows PC. The CD will automatically start and detect the language you are using on your PC. Accept the language option or change to a different language.

Note: If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click on Autorun.

2.Click Setup to start the Smart Wizard installation assistant. Follow the wizard instructions.
