Broadband ADSL2+ Modem DM111PSPv2
ADSL Microfilters
If this is the first time you have cabled a wireless modem between a DSL phone line and your
computer or laptop, you might not be familiar with ADSL microfilters. If you are, you can skip
this section and proceed to Cable Your Broadband ADSL2+ Modem to a Computer on
page 11.
An ADSL microfilter is a small in-line device that filters DSL interference out of standard
phone equipment that shares the same line with your DSL service. Every telephone device
that connects to a telephone line that provides DSL service needs an ADSL microfilter to filter
out the DSL interference. Example devices are telephones, fax machines, answering
machines, and caller ID displays. Note that not every phone line in your home necessarily
carries DSL service. That depends on the DSL service setup in your home.
Note: Often the ADSL microfilter is included in the box with the modem. If
you purchased the broadband ADSL2+ modem in a country where a
microfilter is not included, you have to acquire the ADSL microfilter
separately.
One-Line ADSL Microfilter
Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jack
labeled Phone. The modem plugs directly into a separate DSL line. Plugging the wireless
modem modem into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection. If you do not have a
separate DSL line for the modem, the best thing to do is to use an ADSL microfilter with a
built-in splitter (see the next paragraph).
Plugs into DSL line
Figure 4. One-line ADSL microfilter
Second best when you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem is to get a separate
splitter. To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into the phone outlet,
connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter.
Two-Line ADSL Microfilter
Use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet that provides
connectivity for both the broadband ADSL2+ modem and your telephone equipment. Plug the

ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet, plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone,
and plug the wireless modem modem into the jack labeled ADSL.
Plugs into the DSL line
Figure 5. Two-line ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter
Summary
• One-line ADSL microfilter: Use with a phone or fax machine.
• Splitter: Use with a one-line ADSL microfilter to share an outlet with a phone and the
modem.
• Two-line ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter: Use to share an outlet with a phone and the
modem.
Cable Your Broadband ADSL2+ Modem to a Computer
The installation guide that came in the box has a cabling diagram on the first page. This
section walks you through the cabling procedure with detailed illustrations.
To cable your modem:
1. Put an ADSL microfilter between the phone line and the phone as shown here. The
illustration shows a two-line ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter. The phone plugs into

Broadband ADSL2+ Modem DM111PSPv2
Modem Setup Preparation
You can set up your modem with the NETGEAR Genie as described in NETGEAR Genie CD
Setup on page 15, with the Setup Wizard as described in Setup Wizard on page 20, or
manually as described in Manual Setup (Basic Settings) on page 21. However, before you
start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information on hand and make sure the
laptops, PCs, and other devices in the network have the settings described here.
Note: If you have a Macintosh or Linux system, you have to use the
manual setup method.
Gather ISP Information
You need the following information to set up your modem 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 broadband ADSL2+ modem automatically logs you in.
• Active Internet service provided by a DSL account
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL 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 could need to know
one or more of these settings for a manual setup:
- Virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
- Multiplexing method
- Host and domain names
NETGEAR Genie CD Setup
Use the printed installation guide in the package together with NETGEAR Genie on the
Resource CD. NETGEAR Genie runs on a PC with Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista,
Windows XP, or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later. It is the easiest way to set up the
modem because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been
successfully completed. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
Before running the NETGEAR Genie on a corporate PC, check with your company’s network
support staff. Corporate network settings or virtual private network (VPN) client software

Modem Internet Setup

might conflict with the default settings of a home modem. If you are unsure about whether
there might be a conflict, use a different computer.
To run NETGEAR Genie:
1. Locate the DSL settings information (user name and password) provided by your ISP.
Contact your ISP if you do not have it.
2. Follow the instructions in the printed Installation Guide in the package to to cable and power
up the modem.
3. Insert the Resource CD into your Windows PC. The CD automatically starts and detects the
language you are using on your PC. Select a different language option, if you prefer.
Note: If the CD does not start, go to the CD drive (under My Computer on
Windows), browse the CD, and double-click .
4. When the Welcome screen displays, click Setup to start the Genie. Follow the instructions to
complete the setup. NETGEAR Genie checks your hardware setup and guides you through
connecting the modem to the Internet and adding computers to your network.
Your modem connects to the Internet when any of the computers connected to your
network require access. When you launch a web browser to access the Internet, the
modem’s Internet LED blinks to indicate ISP communication.
View or Change Settings
You can view and change the settings in the following ways:
• Log in to your modem by clicking the desktop shortcut that was placed on your
desktop during the NETGEAR Genie setup. The shortcut icon is put on your desktop only
when you use the NETGEAR Genie setup method.
• Log in to your modem. See Log In to the Modem on page 17.
• Open the Modem_Setup.html file that was placed on your desktop during the NETGEAR
Genie setup. This file provides setup and system information, the NETGEAR technical
support number, links to the NETGEAR website, and a modem login link.
