Reference Manual for the Model DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway

1.Enter your Login and Password. These fields are case sensitive. If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how long the gateway keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a timeout value of zero means never log out.

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.

2.Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:

These parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you leave the Domain Name field blank, the gateway will attempt to learn the domain automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.

If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the gateway during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is 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.

3.Click on Apply to save your settings.

4.Click on the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR website does not appear within one minute, refer to Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting”.
