Internet Configuration Requirements Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need one or more of these configuration parameters to connect your router to the Internet: • • • • • • Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)/Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) parameters Multiplexing Method Host and Domain Names ISP Login Name and Password ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses Fixed or Static IP Address Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.
Two Setup Methods: 1) Smart Wizard Setup 2) Manual Setup You have two methods available for setting up your modem router: • Smart Wizard Setup: Use the Smart Wizard on the CD to assist you with setting up your modem router. – • This option is the easiest. The Smart Wizard on the CD guides you through the setup process, automating many of the steps, and verifying that necessary conditions exist and that steps you perform have been successfully completed.
Manual Setup Use the topics and procedures below to manually set up your modem router. Understanding ADSL Microfilters ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to the telephone lines which create noise in the telephone service. You must use ADSL microfilters to filter out these signals before they reach your telephone. If you purchased the modem router in a country where a microfilter is not included, you must acquire one.
Computers Set to DHCP For the initial connection to your router, your computer has to be set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the router via DHCP. This is usually the case. The NETGEAR Smart Wizard CD automatically takes care of this requirement. For manual setup, refer to the documentation that came with your computer. Manually Setting Up Your Modem Router There are four steps to setting up your modem router: 1. Install ADSL filters on the phone lines. 2.
b. Two-Line Filter Example. Insert the two-line filter into the phone outlet and connect the phone to the phone line connector (A): A Figure 7 To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into the phone outlet, connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter. 2. Connect the modem router to the ADSL filter. a.
Improperly connecting a filter to your modem router will block your ADSL connection. b. Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem router LAN port (D) to the Ethernet adapter in your computer.

If you have just installed the modem and the ADSL LED has never been solid on, check the following: • Disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being careful to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones. • If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green Internet LED, there may be a problem with your wiring.
• If the LAN port is lit, but the Internet port is not, log in to the modem router interface, note the modem router and ADSL status, run the diagnostics test, and contact your ISP’s technical support representative. See the User Manual for detailed information.
If the modem router does not save changes you have made in the Web Management Interface, check the following: • When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to another menu or tab, or your changes are lost. • Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.
