System Setup
The N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition requires the
following considerations for successful operation.
• Positioning Your Wireless Router
• Typical Systems on page 14
Positioning Your Wireless Router
The wireless modem router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the
operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your
wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your
router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal must pass through
may limit the range. For best results, place your router:
• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices will operate,
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
• Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings
between the wireless modem router and your other devices to a minimum.
• Away from electrical devices which are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling
fans, home security systems, microwaves, or the base for a cordless phone (see
Interference Reduction Table on page 120).
• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant
performance degradation or an inability to wirelessly connect to the
Internet.

Typical Systems
The wireless modem router allows you to have the following types of systems. Your choice of
system will determine how you configure the Broadband Settings on page 21.
• ADSL Only
• Mobile Broadband Only on page 15
• ADSL With Fail Over to Mobile Broadband on page 16
ADSL Only
Figure 4.
Note: Improperly connecting a filter to your wireless modem router will
block your ADSL connection.

Mobile Broadband Only
Figure 5.
Note: Because the USB port on the wireless modem router is used for
connecting the Broadband Mobile modem cable, you are not able to
use the USB port for both a ReadyShare storage and a Broadband
Mobile Internet connection at the same time even when using a USB
hub to fan out the USB port.

Chapter 1. Internet Configuration |17
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition User Manual
Logging In to Your Wireless-N Modem Router
When you first connect to your wireless modem router during installation, a Setup Wizard
displays. For help using the Setup Wizard to configure your Internet and wireless network,
see the N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition Installation
Guide.
After the initial configuration, you can log in to the wireless modem router to view or change
its settings, and to access the Knowledge Base and documentation.
Note: Your computer must be configured for DHCP. For help configuring
DHCP, see the documentation that came with your computer, or
click the link to the online document in Preparing Your Network in
Appendix C.
When you have logged in, if you do not click Logout, the wireless modem router waits for 5
minutes after no activity before it automatically logs you out.
To log in to the wireless modem router:
1. Type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your browser, and then press
Enter. A login window displays:
2. Enter admin for the user name and your password (or the default, password). For
information about how to change the password, see Changing the Built-In Password on
page 41.
Note: If you changed your password and do not remember what it is, you
can restore the wireless modem router to its factory settings. See
Factory Default Configuration on page 111.

3. If the router has not been configured, the Smart Wizard screen displays. After the router has
been configured, one of the following screens appears:
• Firmware Upgrade Assistant screen. After initial setup, the Firmware Upgrade
Assistant screen displays unless the Check for Updated Firmware Upon Log-in
check box is cleared.
Note: You can disable this automatic checking and updating feature during
future logins by clearing the Check for Updated Firmware Upon
Log-in check box, but NETGEAR recommends that you keep this
feature enabled to ensure your router is using the latest updated
firmware.
• Router Status screen. The Router Status screen displays the current router
connection status. See Router Status and Usage Statistics on page 55.
4. You can use different methods to configure your router.
• Select Setup Wizard from the router menu to set up your Internet connection and
wireless network configuration. See Using the Setup Wizard after Installation on
page 19.
• You can manually configure the router settings. See Manually Configuring Your
Internet Settings on page 21.
