AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D6400
Automatic Internet Setup
You can use NETGEAR genie to set up the modem router automatically, or you can use the
modem router’s web pages to set up the modem router manually. Automatic Internet setup
with NETGEAR genie functions with both types of Internet service that the modem router
supports:
• DSL service. If you install your modem router for DSL service (the modem router
supports ADSL and VDSL service), you can set up your modem router with NETGEAR
genie, which launches the first time that you set up the Internet connection for your
modem router. NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser
.
For more information, see Set Up Your Modem Router for DSL Service on page 21.
• Cable or fiber service. If you install your modem router for cable or fiber service, you can
set up your modem router with NETGEAR genie, which launches the first time that you
set up the Internet connection for your modem router. NETGEAR genie runs on any
device with a web browser
.
For more information, see
Set Up Your Modem Router for Cable or Fiber Service on
page 29.
Note: After initial installation and setup, the NETGEAR genie Setup Wizard
is always accessible to assist you with setting up an installation with
DSL service or an installation with cable or fiber service. For more
information, see Use the Internet Setup Wizard After Initial Setup on
page 42.
Whether you install your modem router for DSL service or for cable or fiber service, you can
always use the modem router’s web pages to set up your modem router manually
.
Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the settings
that are described here are specified for the computers and devices in the network.
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all
the information that you need to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the
following information to set up your modem router:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet
connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer
to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router
automatically logs you in.
