Position Your Modem Router
The modem router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless
connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your modem
router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through
can limit the range. For best results, place your modem router:
• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate and
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
• So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings
between the modem router and your other devices to a minimum.
• A
way from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling
fans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, or a 2.4 GHz cordless phone and
its base.
• A way from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

ADSL Microfilters
If this is the first time you have cabled a modem router between a DSL phone line and your
computer or laptop, you might not be familiar with ADSL microfilters. If you are, you can skip
this section and proceed to Cable Your Modem Router on page 15.
An ADSL microfilter is a small inline device that filters DSL interference out of standard phone
equipment that shares the same line with your DSL service. Every telephone device that
connects to a telephone line that provides DSL service needs an ADSL microfilter to filter out
the DSL interference. Examples of devices are telephones, fax machines, answering
machines, and caller ID displays. Not every phone line in your home necessarily carries DSL
service. That depends on the DSL service setup in your home.
Note: Often the ADSL microfilter is in the box with the modem router. If you
purchased the modem router in a country where a microfilter is not
included, you need to acquire the ADSL microfilter separately.
One-Line ADSL Microfilter
Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jack
labeled Phone. The modem router plugs directly into a separate DSL line. Plugging the
modem router into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection.
.
Plugs into DSL line
Figure 6. One-line ADSL microfilter
If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the best solution is to use an
ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter (see the next section, T wo-Line ADSL Microfilter).
If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the second-best solution is to
get a separate splitter. To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into
the phone outlet, connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter.
T wo-Line ADSL Microfilter
Use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter if you have a single wall outlet that provides
connectivity for both the modem router and your telephone equipment. Plug the ADSL
microfilter into the wall outlet, plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone, and
plug the modem router into the jack labeled ADSL.

Modem Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use
the genie menus and screens to set up your modem router manually. Before you start the
setup process, get your ISP information and make sure the computers and devices in the
network have the settings described here.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you need to change the settings so
that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Gather ISP Information
If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your
modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service
provider (ISP) provided you with all of the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection
is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer to access
the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router automatically logs
you in. Make sure that you have the following information:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this is rare)
Wireless Devices and Security Settings
Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2
wireless security, which is the wireless security supported by the modem router.
Types of Logins and Access
There are separate types of logins that have different purposes. It is important that you
understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.
• Modem Router login logs you in to the modem router web management interface. For
more information about this login, see Use NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 19.
• ISP login logs you in to your Internet service. Y
