• Your computer must be set up to use DHCP to get its TCP/IP configuration from the modem
router. This is usually the case. For help with DHCP, see the documentation that came with
your computer, or see the link to the online document in “Preparing a Computer for Network
Access” in Appendix B .
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
Using the Installation CD to Set Up Your Router
For first-time installation of your modem router, Netgear recommends using the Installation CD.
The Installation CD will assist you to connect your router and computers. The Smart Wizard

internet, configure wireless settings and wireless security, setup email and tests all the relevant
settings. After initial configuration using the Installation CD, you can use the information in this
Reference Manual to configure additional features of your wireless router.

Table 1-1. Basic Settings Fields Description
Settings Description
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 Add res s. Enter the IP address that your ISP
assigned. Also enter the IP subnet mask and the gateway IP
address. The gateway is the ISP’s modem router to which
your modem router will connect.
• Use IP Over AT M (IFo A) . Your ISP uses Classical IP
addresses (RFC 1577). Enter the IP address, IP subnet
mask, and gateway IP addresses that your ISP assigned.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address Th e 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
this address.
• Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP does
not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the modem
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.
NAT (Net Address Tr anslation) NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (10.1.1.x) to
LAN-connected devices.
• Enable. Usually NAT is enabled.
• Disable. This disables NAT, but leaves the firewall active.
Disable NAT only if you are sure that you do not require it.
When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed
by this router. Classical routing lets you directly manage the
IP addresses that the DG834GUv5 uses. Classical routing
should be selected only by experienced users.
• Disable Firewall. This disables the firewall in addition to
disabling NAT. With the firewall disabled, the protections
usually provided to your network are disabled.

a. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the modem router in a setting where you will be manually administering the IP address
space on the LAN side of the router.
Router MAC Address The Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the modem
router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the Ethernet
MAC address of the network interface card in your computer
when your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic
only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature
allows your modem router to masquerade as that computer by
“cloning” its MAC address.
• Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Computer MAC Address. The modem router will
capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you
are now using. You must be using the one computer that is
allowed by the ISP.
• Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you
want to use.
Changing Your ADSL Settings
Note: For information about how to install ADSL filters, see the NETGEAR Router Setup
Manual.
The default ADSL settings of your modem router work fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs
use a specific multiplexing method and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI)
and virtual channel identifier (VCI).
Note: You must use the Setup Wizard to select the correct country for the default ADSL
settings to work. The default settings are set for Telkom ADSL.
If your ISP provided you with a multiplexing method or VPI/VCI number, then enter the setting:
1. From the main menu, select ADSL Settings.
2. In the Multiplexing Method drop-down list, select LLC-based or VC-based. The default is
LLC-based.

How the Internet Connection Works
Your modem router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your modem
router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not
necessary to run a dialer or login application such as dial-up networking or Enternet to connect,
log in, or disconnect. The modem router performs these functions automatically as needed.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch an Internet
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the modem
router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to
display a Web page.

Configuring Your Wireless Network
and Security Settings
For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless
security setting must be the same for the modem router and wireless computers or wireless
adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.
Warning: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred feet. This can
allow others outside of your immediate area to access your network.
This chapter includes:
• “Planning Your Wireless Network”
• “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Network” on page 2-4
• “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-10
• “Advanced Wireless Settings for WPS and WDS” on page 2-15
• “Controlling Wireless Station Access” on page 2-16
• “Restricting Access by MAC Address” on page 2-17
Planning Your Wireless Network
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel
and region must be set correctly.
To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security.
• To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:
– SSID. The default SSID for the modem router is printed on the belly label of your modem
for example: DO_123456.
– The wireless mode (802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports.

– Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless
adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.
See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Network” on page 2-4.
• Push 'N' Connect (WPS) automatically implements wireless security on the modem router
while, at the same time, allowing you to automatically implement wireless security on any
WPS-enabled devices (such as wireless computers and wireless adapter cards). You activate
WPS by pressing a WPS button on the modem router, clicking an onscreen WPS button, or
entering a PIN number. This generates a new SSID and implements WPA/WPA2 security.
To set up your wireless network using the WPS feature:
– Use the WPS button on the side of the modem router (there is also an onscreen WPS
button ), or enter the PIN of the wireless device.
– Make sure that all wireless computers and wireless adapters on the network are
Wi-Fi
certified and WPA or WPA 2 capable, and that they support WPS configuration.
See “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-10.
Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of
the modem router. The latency , data th roughput performance, and n otebook power consumption of
wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
For best results, place your modem router according to the following guidelines:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-ofsight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
• Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna
in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage.
• If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).

The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
Wireless Security Options
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.1 1g wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 30 0
feet. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access your network.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and
can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of
your wireless equipment. The ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router provides highly effective security
features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to
your needs.
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
Figure 2-1
• WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared
Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper.
This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (see
“Configuring WEP” on page 2-8)..
• WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with user authentication
implemented using IEE 802.1x and RADIUS servers.
• WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared
key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very strong
authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible
to compromise“Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2” on page 2-9).

You also can increase your security by implementing one or more of the following features:
• Restrict Access Based on MAC Address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so that
unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the modem router. Restricting access by MAC
address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over
the wireless link is fully exposed (see “Restricting Access by MAC Address” on page 2-17).
• Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name SSID. If you disable broadcast of
the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network
‘discovery’ feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed (see
“Controlling Wireless Station Access” on page 2-16).
For more information about wireless technology, see the link to the online document in “Wireless
Communications” in Appendix B .
Manually Configuring Your Wireless Network
You can view or manually configure the wireless settings and wireless security for the modem
router in the Wireless Settings screen. If you want to make changes, make sure to note the current
settings first.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or
wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To
avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the modem
router.
To manually configure the wireless settings:
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://10.0.0.2 with its default user
name of admin, and default password of admin, or using whatever user name , pa s swo rd, a n d
LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.
