Before you begin, make sure that you have your DSL Internet service provider (ISP) account information, such as your account phone number, user name, password, and account number. You might need this information to configure your DSL modem router.
To install your NETGEAR DSL modem router using the router web interface:
- Using a phone cable, connect the gray DSL port on the modem router to a DSL wall outlet.
If your modem router includes a DSL microfilter, install the DSL microfilter in between the DSL wall outlet and DSL port on the modem router. You can also connect a landline phone to the DSL microfilter.
- Connect the power adapter to your modem router and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
Your modem router powers on.
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the back panel.
- Wait for the (DSL) LED to light solid white.
Your modem router is connected to DSL service.
- Connect your computer or mobile device to the modem router with WiFi or Ethernet:
- WiFi: Use the WiFi network name (SSID) and password on the modem router label to connect.
- Ethernet: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to an Ethernet port on the modem router.
- Launch a web browser and enter routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1 in the address field.
- When the Configuring the Internet Connection page displays, select your country and ISP, and click or tap NEXT.
The modem router detects your Internet connection.
- Follow the prompts that the NETGEAR installation assistant presents, which depend on the detected type of ISP connection and configuration.
You might be asked to enter your DSL account user name and password, or other account information that your ISP requires.
Note: Your WiFi connection might be lost during the setup process. If this happens, reconnect to the modem router, and wait for the process to continue.
