D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Prepare to Set Up the WiFi DSL Modem Router
You can set up your WiFi modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can
use the genie menus and screens to set up your WiFi modem router manually. However,
before you start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information on 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
WiFi 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 WiFi modem
router automatically logs you in.
• T
he ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• I
SP login name and password
• F
ixed 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 WiFi modem router. See
Basic Wireless Settings on
page 37 for information about the WiFi modem router’s
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.
• W
ireless modem router login logs you in to the WiFi modem router interface from
NETGEAR genie. See Use NETGEAR genie after Installation on p
age 25 for details
about this login.
