N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL Modem Router DGND4000

Prepare to Set Up the Wireless Modem Router

You can set up your wireless modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you
can use the genie menus and screens to set up your wireless modem router manually.
However, before you start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information ob hand
and make sure the laptops, computers, and other 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).

Gather ISP Information

If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your
wireless 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 wireless
modem router automatically logs you in.
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this situation is rare)

Wireless Devices and Security Settings

Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2
wireless security, which is the wireless security supported by the wireless modem router. See
Basic Wireless Settings
preconfigured security settings.

Types of Logins and Access

There are two separate types of logins that have different purposes. It is important that you
understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.
• Wireless modem router login logs you in to the wireless modem router interface from
NETGEAR genie. See
