To check your wireless router's Internet IP address: 1. Log in to the wireless router. 2. Select Router Status, under Maintenance in the main menu, to check that an IP address is shown for the Internet Port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your wireless router has not obtained an IP address from your service provider.

Ask your service provider whether they require a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) login (see Troubleshooting PPPoE on page 76). • You might have incorrectly set the service name, user name or password. Review your router's Basic Settings screen. • Your service provider might check for your computer's host name. Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account to the wireless router on the Basic Settings screen. • Your service provider might only allow one Ethernet MAC address to connect to the Internet, and check for your computer's MAC address. If this is the case: - Inform your service provider that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the wireless router's MAC address, or - Configure your router to spoof your computer's MAC address. On the Basic Settings screen in the Router MAC Address section, select "Use this Computer's MAC Address" and click Apply. Then restart your network in the correct sequence (see the NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual for instructions). Troubleshooting PPPoE If you are using PPPoE, try troubleshooting your Internet connection. To troubleshoot a PPPoE connection: 1. Log in to the wireless router. 2. Select Router Status under Maintenance on the main menu. 3. Click Connection Status. If all of the steps indicate "OK," then your PPPoE connection is up and working.
