Before You Begin
You can connect your modem router directly to a DSL line.
Note: Make sure that your DSL service is active before you install
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.
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.

the label on the bottom of the modem router.

SSID or password. If you do change the settings, the SSID and
password on the label no longer apply.
