Prepare for Router Setup
You can set up your router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the 
NETGEAR genie menus and screens to set up your 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 
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 login program on your computer 
to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs 
you in.
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
ISP login name and password
Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this 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 router. 
Types of Logins and Access
Different types of logins have different purposes. It is important to understand the difference 
so that you know which login to use.
Router login logs you in to the router interface from NETGEAR genie. For information 
about this login, se
ISP login logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider provided you with this 
login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information, 
contact your service provider.
Wireless network key or password. Your router is preset with a unique wireless 
network name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the label 
on the bottom of your router.
