GETTING STARTED

How to Physically Connect the Netgear
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the DSL modem. Plug the other end of the cable into the "WAN" port on the Netgear.
2. Using Ethernet cables, plug any wired computers into any of the 4 Ethernet ports on the Netgear.

How to Access the Netgear Configuration Screen
The Netgear is configured using a Web browser. After you have connected your computer to the Netgear router, follow these steps:

1. Launch your Web browser. Enter "http://192.168.1.1" into the address bar and press the "Enter" or "Return" key.
2. You will see a welcome screen. Click on the "OK" button to continue. Your router will now detect your connection.
3. A page will appear stating whether a Dynamic or Static IP connection has been detected. Click the "Next" button to continue.
4. If your connection is DHCP (Dynamic) as most Cruzio connections are, it will be automatically configured. If you purchased a Static IP address from Cruzio, you will be prompted to enter the Static IP information from your Cruzio login sheet. The router will update and test these new settings and then a wireless settings page will appear.
5. Next to "Select Region," pick "United States" from the dropdown menu.
6. Choose a short, recognizable name for your wireless network. This will make your wireless network easy to identify in a list of networks. Enter this name in the "Enter your Wireless Network name (SSID) box, then click "Next."
7. A "Success" message will appear. Click "Done" to finish.
8. The initial setup is done. Cruzio strongly recommends that you follow the steps below to secure your network.

GENERAL SECURITY MEASURES

Change the Admin password
Leaving the password as "password" is not a good idea. It should be changed to something more secure. To change the password, go to the Netgear Settings screen and:

1. Click the "Set Password" link on the left side of the page.
2. Enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice for confirmation.
3. Click "Apply".
4. The next time you access the Netgear Settings screen, you will need to enter the new Admin password.

Disable the Wireless LAN
If wireless access is not necessary, you should disable the wireless part of the Netgear. This will prevent anyone from accessing the network wirelessly. (If you are using the wireless features, please skip down to "Wireless Security Measures".) From the Netgear Settings screen:

1. Click the "Wireless Settings" link on the left side of the page under "Advanced".
2. Uncheck the box next to "Enable Wireless Router Radio" button.
3. Click "Apply".
5. You are done securing your wired network. No further action is required.
