Connecting the Router to the Internet

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as 
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of one 
or two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you 
must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here.

You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns 
private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only 
standard routing is performed by this router.
 
 
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834 uses. Classical routing 
should selected only by experienced users.
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834 configuration settings to 
the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834 in a setting where you 
will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router

Router MAC Address: 
 
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the router on the 
Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card 
in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from 
the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that 
computer by “cloning” its MAC address. 
 
 
To change the MAC address, select “Use this Computer’s MAC address”. The router will then 
capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using 
the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Alternatively, select “Use this MAC address” and 
enter it.

ADSL Settings
The default settings of your DG834 ADSL Firewall Router will work fine for most ISPs. However, 
some ISPs use a specific Multiplexing Method or a Virtual Circuit Number for either the Virtual 
Path Identifier (VPI) or Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI).
Note: 
The correct country must be selected from the Setup Wizard’s first page for the default 
ADSL Settings to work.
