LAUNCH YOUR BROWSER
This section describes the steps required to configure your router using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This will provide a basic configuration for Internet access.
1.From any PC on your local network, launch your web browser.
2.In the Address box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
3.A
If your router’s configuration password has been previously changed from the factory default of 1234, enter the current password.
4.At the opening screen, select WIZARD SETUP.
5.In the first Wizard screen, enter your account’s Host Name and Domain Name.
6.Click Next to go to the ISP Parameters screen.
This screen determines whether a login program will be run.
a.If your service provider does not require a login program, leave Encapsulation as Ethernet and proceed to Step 7.
b.If your service provider uses PPPoE, select Encapsulation as PPPoE, and enter these additional parameters:
–If your connection supports multiple ISPs, enter the Service Name of the one you use. Otherwise leave Service Name blank.
– Enter the user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case sensitive.
–If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in seconds. Proceed to Step 7.
c.If your service provider is RoadRunner AND you are required to run a RoadRunner login program, leave Encapsulation as Ethernet and select Service Type as either
–If your cable modem is Toshiba, select
– Enter the user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case sensitive.
–If RoadRunner provided an authentication server address, enter it as Login Server IP address. Otherwise, leave this field as 0.0.0.0.
Not all RoadRunner regions require a login program. If your region does not require a login, leave Service Type as Standard.
7. Click on Next to go to the final Wizard screen shown below.
a. WAN IP Address Assignment: Unless your ISP has assigned a fixed permanent IP address for your use, select “Get automatically from ISP”. Otherwise, enter your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and the IP Address of your ISP’s gateway router.
b.DNS Server Address Assignment: If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select “Use this server” and enter the IP address of the ISP’s DNS server.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you should reboot your PCs after configur- ing the router.
c.WAN MAC address: If your ISP allows access by only one specific PC’s Ethernet MAC address, select “Spoof this PC’s MAC address” and enter the IP address of that PC.
–For convenience, the IP address of the PC you are now using should already appear. If this is not the PC whose MAC address is to be used, enter that PC’s IP address.
–Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your PC when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC address of that PC. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that PC by using its MAC address.
8.Click Finish.

TEST YOUR CONNECTION
Accessing the Internet
Click the NETGEAR Web site address to test your Internet connection.
When your router and PCs are configured correctly, your router automatically accesses the Internet when one of your LAN devices requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer application, such as
To access the Internet:
1.From the PC connected to your router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
You should see the Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page.
If you have trouble accessing the Internet, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide.

Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Windows)
After the Windows PC is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration using the Windows utility winipcfg.exe (for Windows NT systems, use ipconfig.exe).
To check your PC’s TCP/IP configuration:
1.On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run. The Run window opens.
2.Type winipcfg, and then click OK. The IP Configuration window opens.
3.Select your Ethernet adapter. The window is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends:
•The IP Address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.32
•The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
•The Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1
4.Click More Info, and verify that the “DNS Servers” box displays 192.168.0.1.
Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Macintosh)
After the Macintosh has rebooted, check the TCP/IP properties:
1.From the Apple menu, select the TCP/IP Control Panel.
2.If you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends, your setting should match these:
•The IP Address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.32
•The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
•The Router address is 192.168.0.1
•Name server address is 192.168.0.1
