Router Setup Preparation

You can set up your router with NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie menus and screens to set up your router manually. However, before you start the setup process, you must have your ISP information on hand and make sure that the laptops, computers, and other devices in the network have the settings described here.

Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP

If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you must change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Gather ISP Information

For DSL broadband service, when your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed to connect to the Internet. You might need this information to set up the router to use your Internet service. 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 login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in. You might need the following information to set up your router:

•The ISP configuration information for your DSL account

•ISP login name and password

•Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this situation is rare)

Wireless Devices and Security Settings

Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2 wireless security, which is the wireless security supported by the router. For information about the router’s preconfigured security settings, see Basic Wireless Settings on page 28.

Types of Logins and Access

Different types of logins have different purposes. It is important that you understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.

•Router login. The user name admin logs you in to the router user interface from NETGEAR genie. For more information, see Log In to Your Router After Installation on page 18.

•ISP login. The login that your ISP provided logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider provided you with this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your service provider.
