Types of Logins
Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand
the difference so that you know which login to use when.
Types of logins:
•
Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you
logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider gave you this login
information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information,
contact your service provider.
•
WiFi network key or password. Your router and satellite are preset with the same
WiFi network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the
router label and the satellite label.
•
Router login. This logs you in to the router interface from a web browser as admin.
Use a Web Browser to Access the Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can
use a web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. The first time you
access the router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your
router can connect to your Internet service.
Automatic Internet Setup
You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the
router and 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 use the
settings described here.
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 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
