Netgear DG834, DG834G Quick Start Manual

Installation Guide

Before you begin, locate the ADSL configuration information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, if you purchased the DG834G in a country where a microfilter is not included, you must acquire one.

Connect the DG834G to the ADSL Line

ADSL signals degrade phone sound quality. Microfilters block such problems and are required for each phone or fax. There are two types: one-line microfilters; and two-line microfilters which include a built-in splitter. Sharing a phone outlet with two devices requires a splitter.

The procedure below illustrates using a two-line combo microfilter/splitter. You can accomplish the same result using a one-line microfilter with a separate phone line splitter.

a. Insert the filter into the phone outlet

and connect the phone to the phone connector (A).

b. Turn off your computer.

c. Connect the ADSL port (B) of the DG834G to the ADSL

connector of the two-line filter.

Note: Improperly connecting a filter to your DG834G will block ADSL signals and prevent connecting to the Internet.

d. Connect the Ethernet cable (C) from a LAN port of your

DG834G to the Ethernet adapter in your computer.

e. Plug in the router and verify the following:

The power light is lit after applying power to the router.

The ADSL link light is solid green, indicating a link has been established to the ADSL network.

f. Now, turn on your computer and verify the following:

The local lights are lit for any connected computers.

If software usually logs you in to the Internet, do not run it.

The Internet Explorer Tools Internet Options Connections page should be set to “Never dial a connection.”

g. Install a filter on each phone device that shares the phone line

with your router.

Note: Use one-line filters for connecting additional phones.

Note: Your computer needs to be configured for DHCP. For help with this, see the Reference Manual or tutorials on the 54 Mbps

Wireless ADSL Firewall Router Resource CD.

a. Connect to the router by typing http://192.168.0.1 in the address

field of Internet Explorer or Netscape®Navigator.

b. When prompted, enter admin for the user name and password

for the password, both in lower case letters. After logging in, you will see the menu below.

If you do not see the menu above, click the

Setup Wizard link

on the upper left of the main menu.
