Netgear 14200260 Manual Do Utilizador

The cable data gateway comes with a default configuration. If you want to change from the 
default configuration, you can use the NETGEAR genie menus and screens to set up your 
cable data gateway manually. However, before you start the setup process, you need your 
cable service provider information available. 

If you set up your device or computer to use a static IP address, you must change the 
settings so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). 

Make sure that the WiFi device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2 WiFi 
security, which is the WiFi security supported by the cable data gateway. Best practice is to 
use WPA2-AES security for your network.

The cable data gateway supports separate types of logins that serve different purposes. It is 
important that you understand the difference so that you know which of the following logins to 
use when:

Cable modem router login. This login logs you in to the cable data gateway interface 
from NETGEAR genie. For more information, see 

WiFi network key or password. Your cable data gateway is preset with a unique WiFi 
network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the product 
label. For more information, see 

26.

NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. 

For information about installing the cable data gateway, see the

The following procedure assumes that you installed the cable data gateway and that your 
computer or another device is connected with an Ethernet cable or over WiFi with the preset 
security settings that are listed on the product label.
