Cannot Access the Internet
Note: If you are installing the N300 wireless modem router and have not yet configured the Internet connection, see Chapter 1, Router

If your Internet connection was working previously, it is possible that this is due to a problem at your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you can access your router but you are unable to access the Internet, you can check its configuration, and you can determine whether the router can obtain an IP address from your ISP.
Checking the Configuration
To check the router configuration to make sure that it is correct:

2.Access the main menu of the router at http://www.routerlogin.net.
•Select Basic Settings to view the Basic Settings screen.
•Select ADSL to view the Multiplexing method, VPI, and VCI settings.
•You can select Setup Wizard and allow the N300 wireless modem router to automatically detect your Internet connection.

To check the WAN IP address:
1.Start your browser, and select an external site such as http://www.netgear.com.
