Position Your Gateway

The gateway lets you access your network 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 gateway. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range.

Additionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might affect your

gateway’ and any other device that emits a wireless signal for network access.

Position your gateway according to the following guidelines:

s signal. Wireless access points are gateways, repeaters, WiFi range extenders,

• Place your gateway near the center of the area where your computers and other devices

operate and within line of sight to your wireless devices.

• Make sure that the gateway is within reach of an

cables for wired computers.

• Place the gateway in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings

between the gateway and your other devices.

• Place the gateway away from electrical devices such as these:

- Ceiling fans

- Home security systems

- Microwaves

- Computers

- Base of a cordless phone

- 2.4 GHz cordless phone

• Place the gateway away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, insulated walls,

and items such as these:

- Solid metal doors

- Aluminum studs

- Fish tanks

- Mirrors

- Brick

- Concrete

• Log In to the Gateway

Dual Band Wireless VDSL2 + Ethernet Gateway

Connect to the Network

You can connect to the gateway’s network through a wired or WiFi connection. If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Wired Connection

You can connect your computer to the gateway using an Ethernet cable and join the gateway’s local area network (LAN).

 To connect your computer to the gateway with an Ethernet cable:

1. Make sure power is supplied to the gateway and the WiFi LED is lit.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your computer.

3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports.

Your computer connects to the local area network (LAN). A message might display on your computer screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is connected.

WiFi Connection

Y ou can connect to the gateway’ s WiFi network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or you can find and select the WiFi network.

 To use WPS to connect to the WiFi network:

1. Make sure that power is supplied to the gateway and the WiFi LED is lit.

2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or wireless device.

3. Press the WPS button on the gateway.

4. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its WPS button or follow its

instructions for WPS connections. Your computer or wireless device connects to the WiFi network.

 To find and select the WiFi network:

1. Make sure that power is supplied to the gateway and the WiFi LED is lit.

2. On your computer or wireless device, find and select the WiFi network.

The WiFi network name is on the product label.

3. Join the WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.

The password is on the product label. Your wireless device connects to the WiFi network.

Types of Logins

Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.

These types of logins are associated with the gateway:

• Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider gave you logs you in

to your Internet service. Your service provider gave you this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your service provider.

• WiFi network key or password. Your gateway is preset with a unique wireless network

name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the gateway label.

• Gateway login.This logs you in to the gateway interface from a web browser as admin.

Log In to the Gateway

When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a web browser to access the gateway to view or change its settings. The first time you access the gateway, NETGEAR genie automatically checks to see if your gateway can connect to your Internet service. The next time you access the gateway with a browser, you are prompted to log in.

 To log in to the gateway:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

3. Internet Setup

Usually, the quickest way to set up the router to use your Internet connection is to allow genie to detect the Internet connection when you first access the router with a web browser. You can also customize or specify your Internet settings.

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Use the Internet Setup Wizard

• Manually Specify an Internet Connection Without a Login

• Manually Specify an Internet Connection with a Login

• Manually Specify ADSL Settings

• Specify IPv6 Internet Connections

• Change the MTU Size
