Gather ISP Information

You need the following information to set up your wireless modem router and to check that
your Internet configuration is correct. Your ISP should have provided you with all the
information you need 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 login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet
application, your wireless modem router automatically logs you in.
• Active Internet service provided by a DSL account
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
- ISP login name and password
- ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
- Fixed or static IP address
- Host and domain names
- Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you could need to know
one or more of these settings for a manual setup:
- Virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
- Multiplexing method
- Host and domain names

NETGEAR Genie Setup

NETGEAR Genie is on the Resource CD and runs on a PC that has Microsoft Windows 7,
Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later installed.
NETGEAR Genie is the easiest way to set up the router because it automates many of the
steps and verifies that those steps have been successfully completed. The setup process
takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Before running the NETGEAR Genie on a corporate PC, check with your company's network
support staff. Corporate network settings or virtual private network (VPN) client software
might conflict with the default settings of a home router. If you are unsure about whether
there might be a conflict, use a different computer.

To run NETGEAR Genie:
1. Locate the DSL settings information (user name and password) provided by your ISP.
Contact your ISP if you do not have your DSL user name and password.
2. Insert the Resource CD into your Windows PC.
The CD starts and detects the language on your PC. You can select a different language
if you prefer.
Note: If the CD does not start, go to the CD drive (under My Computer on
Windows), browse the CD, and double-click on the
