Set Up Your Modem Router for DSL Service
You can install your modem router for DSL service or for cable or fiber (Ethernet WAN)
service. If you use a DSL modem, follow the procedure that is described in Cable the Modem
Router for DSL Service and Access the Modem Router on page 22. If you use a cable or fiber
modem, follow the procedure that is described in Set Up Your Modem Router for Cable or
Fiber Service on page 29.
DSL Service
Make sure that your ADSL or VDSL 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 ISP sent you when you signed up for your service. Record your DSL Internet service
account user name and password.
Your telephone number or DSL account number. If you do not use voice service, you
can use your DSL account number in place of a phone number
.
If you do not know or cannot locate your DSL user name and password, call your DSL
Internet service provider (ISP). Be specific when speaking with your DSL Internet service
provider. For example, you could say, “I need my DSL service user name and password. Can
you help me?”
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.
