Automatic Internet setup with NETGEAR genie functions with both types of Internet service that the modem
router supports:
• DSL service. If you install your modem router for DSL service (the modem router supports ADSL and
VDSL service), you can set up your modem router with NETGEAR genie, which launches the first time
that you set up the Internet connection for your modem router. NETGEAR genie runs on any device
with a web browser.
For more information, see Set Up Your Modem Router for DSL Service on page 21.
• Cable or fiber service. If you install your modem router for cable or fiber service, you can set up your
modem router with NETGEAR genie, which launches the first time that you set up the Internet connection
for your modem router. NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser.
For more information, see Set Up the Modem Router for Cable or Fiber Service on page 26.
After initial installation and setup, the NETGEAR Setup Wizard is always accessible
to assist you with setting up an installation with DSL service or an installation with
cable or fiber service. For more information, see Use the Internet Setup Wizard After
Initial Setup on page 34.
Note
Whether you install your modem router for DSL service or for cable or fiber service, you can always use the
modem router’s web pages to set up the modem router manually.
Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the settings that are
described here are specified for the computers and devices in the network.
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information
that you need to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set
up your modem router:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (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 modem router automatically logs you in.
Set Up Your Modem Router for DSL Service
You can install your modem router for DSL service or for cable or fiber (Ethernet WAN) service. If you use
a DSL modem, follow the procedure that is described in Cable the Modem Router for DSL Service and
Access the Modem Router on page 22. If you use a cable or fiber modem, follow the procedure that is
described in Set Up the Modem Router for Cable or Fiber Service on page 26.
