N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700v2
Prepare to Set Up the Wireless Modem Router
You can set up your wireless modem router with the NETGEAR Genie automatically, or you
can use the Genie menus and screens to set up your wireless modem router manually.
However, before you start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information on hand
and make sure the laptops, computers, and other 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
wireless modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet
service provider (ISP) should have 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 wireless
modem router automatically logs you in.

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 wireless modem router. See

preconfigured security settings.
