Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access
the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your gateway will automatically log you
in.

transmit DNS addresses to the gateway during login, select “Use these DNS servers” a nd ente r

available, enter it also.
If you enter an address here, after you finish configuring the gateway, reboot your PCs so
that the settings take effect.
4. Click on Apply to save your settings.
5. Click on the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR website does not
