Information for DSL Service
You can connect directly to a DSL line or to a fiber or cable modem.
If you are connecting to a DSL line, make sure that your DSL 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 have
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.
Join the Modem Router’s WiFi Network
To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming
device) to your modem router’s WiFi network:
1. Open the soware utility that manages your WiFi connections on
the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your
modem router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Find and select your modem router’s WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the product label.
3. Enter the modem router’s password (or your custom password if you
changed it) and click the Connect button.
The password is on the product label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices.
WiFi Network Name and Password
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key
(password). The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device, like a serial number, to protect and maximize your wireless security. This
information is on the product label.
NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can
check the router label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change these
settings if you want. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store
them in a safe place.
