Internet IP Address.

•Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses.

•Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP address that your ISP assigned to you. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router should connect.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.

•Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns these IP addresses.

•Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select this option, and enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.

Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address used by the router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also called spoofing or cloning).

•Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.

•Use Computer MAC Address. The router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that you are now using to configure the router. To configure the router, make sure that you use the computer that is registered and allowed by the ISP.

•Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.

Basic Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.

The router comes with preset WPA2-PSK security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), wireless network password (also referred to as the passphrase or network key), and security option (authentication and encryption protocol) are preset in the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the back panel of the router. The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and maximize your wireless security.

WARNING:

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you do decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can easily find it.
