Types of Logins
Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand the difference so that
you know which login to use when.
Types of logins:
• Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you logs you in to your
Internet service.Your service provider gave you this login information in a letter or some other way. If
you cannot find this login information, contact your service provider.
• WiFi network key or password.Your cable modem router and satellite are preset with the same WiFi
network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the cable modem router
label and the satellite label.
• Cable modem router admin login. The cable modem admin login credentials logs you in to the cable
modem router interface from a web browser as admin. The default admin user name is admin. The first
time you log in to the cable modem router, you are prompted to change the admin password.
Use a Web Browser to Access the Cable Modem Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a web browser
to access the cable modem router to view or change its settings.The first time you access the cable modem
router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your cable modem router can
connect to your Internet service.
Automatic Internet Setup
You can set up your cable modem router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the cable
modem router and set up your cable modem router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your
ISP information and make sure that the computers and devices in the network use the settings described
here.
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information
needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set up your
cable 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 cable modem router automatically logs you in.
