Additional Information for DSL Service
Make sure that your DSL service is active before you install the
modem router. You need the following information to install your DSL
modem and connect to the Internet:
• DSL user name and password
. This information is included in the
welcome letter your DSL Internet service provider (ISP) sent you when
you signed up for your service.
• Your telephone number or DSL account number
. If you do not have
voice service, you can use your DSL account number instead.
If you do not know or cannot locate your DSL user name and password, call
your DSL ISP.
Note:
If your provider says that they do not support NETGEAR services,
tell them that you need only your DSL user name and password; you do not
need support.
WiFi Network Name and Password
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key
(password). The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for
every device, like a serial number, to protect and maximize your wireless
security. This information is on the product label.
NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you
can check the product label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you
change these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and
store them in a safe place.
Join the Modem Router’s WiFi Network
To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming
device) to your modem router’s WiFi network, you can use either the
manual method or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.
Manual Method
1. Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections on
the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your
modem router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Find and select your modem router’s WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the product label.
3. Enter the modem router’s password (or your custom password if you
changed it) and click the
Connect
button.
The password is on the product label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices.
WPS Method
If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join
the modem router’s WiFi network. For help with the WPS button on your
computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came
with that computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note:
WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security,
use the manual method.
1. Press the
WPS
button
on the modem router.
2. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its
WPS
button or click its onscreen
WPS
button.
The computer or WiFi device connects to your modem router.
3. Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices.
