What to do if I cannot access the internet with my NETGEAR Wireless Router?

  If you cannot access the internet with your NETGEAR Wireless Router, it might be that your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP. Restart your network to resolve this. Alternatively, your ISP might require a login program. In that case, ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of login. Finally, your ISP might only allow one Ethernet MAC address to connect to the Internet. Configure your router to clone your computer’s MAC address.
