AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D6400 NETGEAR genie Automatic Setup Utility You can use the NETGEAR genie automatic setup utility during initial installation and setup of your modem router. This utility 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 the NETGEAR genie automatic setup utility, which launches the first time that you set up the Internet connection for your modem router. The NETGEAR genie automatic setup utility 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 the NETGEAR genie automatic setup utility, which launches the first time that you set up the Internet connection for your modem router. The NETGEAR genie automatic setup utility 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 genie menus and screens 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. Install and Access the Modem Router and Its Network 20
