N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 Modem Router DGND3800B
Modem Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use
the genie menus and screens to set up your modem router manually. Before you start the
setup process, get your ISP information and make sure the computers and devices in the
network have the settings described here.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you need to change the settings so
that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Replace an Existing Router
To replace an existing router, disconnect it completely from your network and set it aside
before starting the router setup.
Adapters and Security Settings
A wireless adapter is the wireless radio in your computer that lets the computer connect to a
wireless network. Most computers come with an adapter already installed, but if it is outdated
or slow, you can purchase a USB adapter to plug into a USB port.
Make sure the wireless adapter in each computer in your wireless network supports the same
security settings as the modem router.
Note:
If you connect devices to your modem router using WPS as
described in
those devices assume the security settings of the router.
Gather ISP Information
If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your
modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service
provider (ISP) should have provided you with all of the information needed to connect to the
Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet
connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP's login program on your
computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router
automatically logs you in. Make sure that you have the following information:
•
Active Internet service provided by an ADSL account
•
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
-
ISP login name and password
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method
