NETGEAR Genie Setup

NETGEAR Genie is on the Resource CD and runs on a PC with Microsoft Windows 7,
Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later. It is the easiest
way to set up the modem router because it automates many steps and verifies that those
steps have been successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Before running 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 your modem router settings. To avoid a conflict, use another PC.
Locate the DSL settings information (user name and password) provided by your ISP.
