Information for DSL Service
You can connect directly to a DSL line or to a fiber or cable modem.
If you are connecting to a DSL line, make sure that your DSL service is active before you install the modem router. You need the following information to install your DSL modem and connect to the Internet:
•DSL user name and password. This information is included in the welcome letter your DSL ISP sent you when you signed up for your service. Record your DSL Internet service account user name and password.
•Your telephone number or DSL account number. If you do not have voice service, you can use your DSL account number in place of a phone number.
If you do not know or cannot locate your DSL user name and password, call your DSL Internet service provider (ISP). Be specific when speaking with your DSL Internet service provider. For example, you could say, “I need my DSL service user name and password. Can you help me?”
Note: If your provider says that they do not support NETGEAR services, tell them that you need only your DSL user name and password; you do not need support.

WiFi Network Name and Password
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password). The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device, like a serial number, to protect and maximize your wireless security. This information is on the product label.
NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can check the router label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change these settings if you want. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store them in a safe place.
