What You Need before You Begin
You need to prepare the following before you can set up your firewall:
• Active Internet service provided by an ADSL account
• The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your ADSL account
– ISP login name and password
– ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
– Fixed or static IP address
– Host and domain names
• Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need to know one or more of
these settings:
– Virtual path identifier (VPI) and Virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
– Multiplexing method
– Host and domain names
• ASDL microfilters as explained in the ETGEAR Router Setup Manual
In addition, your computer must be set up to use DHCP to get its TCP/IP configuration from the
modem router. This is usually the case. For help with DHCP, see the documentation that came with
your computer, or see the link to the online document that you can access from “Preparing Your
Network” in Appendix A.
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
Logging In to the Wireless Modem Router
You can log in to the modem router to view or change its settings.
ote: Your computer must be configured for DHCP. For help with configuring DHCP, see
the documentation that came with your computer or see the link to the online docu-
ment that you can access from “Preparing Your Network” in Appendix A.
