N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3
Modem Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use
the genie menus and screens to set up your modem router manually. Before you start the
setup process, get your ISP information and make sure the computers and 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 must 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
modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service
provider (ISP) 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 modem router automatically logs
you in. Make sure that you have the following information:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this is rare)
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 modem router.
Types of Logins and Access
There are separate types of logins that have different purposes. It is important that you
understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.
• Modem Router login logs you in to the modem router web management interface. For
more information about this login, see Use NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 19.
• ISP login logs you in to your Internet service. Y
our service provider has provided you with
this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login
information, contact your service provider.
• Wireless network key or password. Your modem router is preset with a unique wireless
network name (SSID) and password for wireless access.
This information is on the label
of your modem router.
