Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Router DG834 

Configuring Your Internet Connection

3-9

v2.3, May 2007

You are now ready to configure your modem router to connect to the Internet. There are two 
ways you can configure your modem router to connect to the Internet:

a.

Let the modem router Setup Wizard auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have 
and configure it. 

b. Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it. 

In either case, use to the configuration parameters your ISP provided to assure that the 
configuration settings for your Internet connection are correct.

5.

Test your Internet connection.

From the bottom of the Setup menu, click Test. If the NETGEAR Web site does not appear 
within one minute, refer to 

Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”

.

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. These functions are performed automatically by the modem router as needed.

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch a browser such 
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the modem router’s Internet 
LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page.

Auto-Detecting Your Internet Connection Type

The Web Configuration Manager built in to the modem router contains a Setup Wizard that can 
automatically determine your network connection type. 

The procedures for filling in the configuration page for each type of connection follow below.

Note: 

At present, the SmartWizard cannot automatically detect a PPTP type of connecton 

with your ISP. If your ISP uses this type of protocol you must configure your 
connection manually (see 

“How to Perform Manual Configuration” on page 3-15

).
