Before You Begin
You can connect directly to a DSL line or to a fiber/cable modem.
Note: 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
information listed here to install your DSL modem and connect to the
Internet. Please locate it and have it on hand before you start the
installation procedure.
•DSL username and password. These are usually 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:
User name:
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 don’t know or cannot locate your user name and password,
call your DSL Internet service provider. The table on the next
page lists the contact information for some of the primary DSL
providers.
Be very 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 they do not support NETGEAR
devices, tell them you need only your DSL user name and
password; you do not need support.

Preset Wireless Security
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network
key (password). The default SSID and network key (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 bottom of the product.
WiFi Network Name (SSID) Network Key (Password)
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi
network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do change
the settings, the security SSID and password on the bottom of the
product no longer apply.
Note: Your network names (SSIDs) and passphrases are case-
sensitive. Your network name, security method, and passphrase need
to be the same for all the wireless devices connected to your router
on a network.
