the modem router. You need the information listed here to install your
DSL modem and connect to the Internet. Locate it and have it on
hand before you start the installation procedure.
•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 here:
•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.
User name:
Password:

If you do not know or cannot locate your user name and password,
call your DSL Internet service provider.
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 you need only your DSL user name and password;
you do not need support.

Preset Wireless Security
The modem router 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 located on
the label on the modem router.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi
SSID or password. If you do change the settings, the SSID and
password on the label no longer apply.
