Information for DSL Service

You can connect directly to a DSL line or to a ﬁber or cable modem.

If you are connecting to a DSL line, make sure that your DSL service is active before you install the modem router. You need the following information to install your DSL modem and connect to the Internet:

• DSL user name and password. This information is included in the

welcome letter your DSL ISP sent you when you signed up for your service. Record your DSL Internet service account user name and password.

• Your telephone number or DSL account number. If you do not have

voice service, you can use your DSL account number in place of a phone number.

If you do not know or cannot locate your DSL user name and password, call your DSL Internet service provider (ISP). Be speciﬁc when speaking with your DSL Internet service provider. For example, you could say, “I need my DSL service user name and password. Can you help me?”

Note: If your provider says that they do not support NETGEAR services,

tell them that you need only your DSL user name and password; you do not need support.

WiFi Network Name and Password

This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password). The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device, like a serial number, to protect and maximize your wireless security. This information is on the product label.

NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can check the product label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store them in a safe place.

To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming device) to your modem router’s WiFi network, you can use either the manual method or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.

Manual Method

1. Open the soware utility that manages your WiFi connections on the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your modem router.

This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.

2. Find and select your modem router’s WiFi network name (SSID). The SSID is on the product label.

3. Enter the modem router’s password (or your custom password if you changed it) and click the Connect button.

The password is on the product label.

4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices.

WPS Method

If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join the modem router’s WiFi network. For help with the WPS button on your computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came with that computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.

Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security,

use the manual method.
