Automatic Internet Setup

You can let the NETGEAR installation assistant set up your router automatically, or you can set up your router
manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the computers and
devices in the network are using the settings described here. If you are installing a new router on a network that
already includes a router, see
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed
to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set up your router:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address setting (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
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 router automatically logs you in.
The NETGEAR installation assistant runs on any device with a web browser. Installation and basic setup takes about
15 minutes to complete.
To use the NETGEAR installation assistant to automatically set up your router:
1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Make sure that your computer or WiFi device is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable (wired) or over
WiFi with the preset security settings listed on the label.
