Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v4
2-2 Connecting the Router to the Internet
December 2003
For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your router, you will need to connect
a computer to the router which is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the router
via DHCP.
Note: For help with DHCP configuration, please refer to Appendix C, “Preparing Your Network.
The cable or DSL modem broadband access device must provide a standard 10 Mbps (10BASE-T)
or 100 Mbps (100BASE-Tx) Ethernet interface.
Internet Configuration Requirements
Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you will need one or more of these
configuration parameters to connect your router to the Internet:
Host and Domain Names
ISP Login Name and Password
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses
Fixed IP Address which is also known as Static IP Address
Where Do I Get the Internet Configuration Parameters?
There are several ways you can gather the required Internet connection information.
Your ISP provides all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate
this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it or you can try one of the options below.
If you have a computer already connected using the active Internet access account, you can
gather the configuration information from that computer.
For Windows 95/98/ME, open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry for the
Ethernet adapter, and click Properties. Record all the settings for each tab page.
For Windows 2000/XP, open the Local Area Network Connection, select the TCP/IP entry
for the Ethernet adapter, and click Properties. Record all the settings for each tab page.
For Macintosh computers, open the TCP/IP or Network control panel. Record all the
settings for each section.
You may also refer to the GearBox CD for Cable/DSL Wireless Router WGR614 for the
NETGEAR Router ISP Guide which provides Internet connection information for many ISPs.
Once you locate your Internet configuration parameters, you may want to record them on the page
below.
