Internet Setup Screen Fields: Fields That Display
Irrespective of Whether Login Is Required
These fields display irrespective of whether your ISP requires a login:
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses
based on their names.
• Get Automatically from
ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.
• Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select this
option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server
. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the
Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened.
They accept traffic only from the MAC address
of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer’s MAC
address (also called cloning).
• Use Default
Address
. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Computer MAC Address.
The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using. You must use the one computer that the ISP allows.
• Use This MAC Address
. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows computers on your home network to
share the modem router Internet connection. NA
T is enabled by default because it is needed
in most situations. The following settings are available:
• Enable. NAT is enabled.
This is the default setting.
• Disable. NAT is disabled.
xDSL Setup
NETGEAR recommends that you use the Setup Wizard to detect the DSL connection and
automatically set up the modem router (see Internet Connection Setup Wizard on page 47).
If you have technical experience and are sure of the correct DSL mode, multiplexing method,
and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier
(VCI), you can specify those settings on the xDSL Setup screen. NETGEAR recommends
that you change the W
AN interface selection and enter the multiplexing method, VPI, VCI,
and VLAN ID only if your ISP provided you this information.
Use interface WAN1 for regular Internet service. Use interface WAN2 for Internet protocol
television (IPTV) service. If your ISP provides IPTV service in addition to regular Internet
service, you must configure both interface WAN1 and interface W
AN2. If your ISP does not
provide IPTV service to you, do not configure and enable interface WAN2.
