The Basic Settings pages allow you to configure, upgrade and check the status of your NETGEAR Wireless Router.
Click an item in the leftmost column. The current settings or information for that area appear in the center column.
Helpful information related to the selected Settings page appears in this column. If you are using Internet Explorer, you may click an item in the center column to jump directly to the related help section; otherwise, scroll down until you reach it.
Note: If you are setting up the router for the first time, the default settings may work for you with no changes.
Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login?
Select this option based on the type of account you have with your ISP. If you need to enter login information every time you connect to the Internet or you have a PPPoE account with your ISP, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.
Note: If you have installed PPP software such as WinPoET (from Earthlink) or Enternet (from PacBell), then you have PPPoE. Select Yes. After selecting Yes and configuring your router, you will not need to run the PPP software on your PC to connect to the Internet. (also known as Host Name or System Name)
