router. You need the following information to install your DSL modem and
connect to the Internet:

voice service, you can use your DSL account number instead.
If you do not know or cannot locate your DSL user name and password, call
your DSL ISP. The following table lists the contact information for some of
the primary DSL ISPs.

Join the Modem Router’s WiFi Network
To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming
device) to your modem router’s WiFi network, you can use either the
manual method or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.
Manual Method
1. Open the soware utility that manages your WiFi connections on
the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your
modem router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Find and select your modem router’s WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the product label.
3. Enter the modem router’s password (or your custom password if you
changed it) and click the Connect button.
The password is on the product label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices.
WPS Method
If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join
the modem router’s WiFi network. For help with the WPS button on your
computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came
with that computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security,
use the manual method.
1. Press the WPS button on the modem router.
2. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its WPS
button or click its onscreen WPS button.
The computer or WiFi device connects to your modem router.
3. Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices.
WiFi Network Name and Password
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key
(password). The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device, like a serial number, to protect and maximize your wireless security. This
information is on the product label.
NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can
check the product label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change
these setting. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store them in
a safe place.
