ADSL Settings

Note: For information about how to install ADSL filters, see the NETGEAR Router Setup
Manual.
The default ADSL settings of your modem router work fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs
use a specific multiplexing method and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI)
and virtual channel identifier (VCI).
Note: You must use the Setup Wizard to select the correct country for the default ADSL
settings to work.
If your ISP provided you with a multiplexing method or VPI/VCI number, then enter the setting:
1. From the main menu, select ADSL Settings.
2. In the Multiplexing Method drop-down list, select LLC-based or VC-based.
3. For the VPI, type a number between 0 and 255. The default is 8.
4. For the VCI, type a number between 32 and 65535. The default is 35.
5. Click Apply.

How the Internet Connection Works

Your modem router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your modem
router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not
necessary to run a dialer or login application such as dial-up networking or Enternet to connect,
log in, or disconnect. The modem router performs these functions automatically as needed.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch an Internet
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the modem
router's Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to
display a Web page.
