Resumen del manual
Note: If you have a Macintosh or Linux system, you have to use the manual setup method. Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP If you configured your computer to use a static IP address, you need to change the settings back so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). See Appendix A, Technical Specifications for more information. Replace an Existing Router To replace an existing router, disconnect the router 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 PC or laptop that lets the PC or laptop connect to a wireless network. Most PCs and laptops come with an adapter already installed, but if the adapter is outdated or slow, you can purchase a USB adapter to plug into a USB port. It is important that you make sure that the wireless adapter in each computer in your wireless network supports the same security settings as the wireless modem router. See Preset Security on page 32 for information about the router’s preconfigured security settings. Note: If you connect devices to your modem router with WPS as described in Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method on page 35, those devices assume the security settings of the router. 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 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. 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 N Button icon. 3. When the Welcome screen displays, click Setup to start the Genie. 4. Follow the instructions to complete the setup.
