If the DSL light is lit, the next thing is to check the Internet light. Do not waste your time configuring when there is no DSL signal. That has to be fixed before you can follow these instructions. If it is blinking or dark, then you don't have a dsl signal. If your DSL light is solid, we can move forward with these instructions. The DSL light is on the front of the router, next to the Internet light. Check DSL Status Lightsīefore we start, let's make sure we have a good dsl signal. Give the router a couple of minutes to start up. All the lights will flash a few times, the router will restart, and the configuration will be reset to factory defaults. This is done by inserting a paperclip in the little hole with the red circle on the left side (see image above). If this is a used router, and has some mystery configuration, you may want to blank the configuration by doing a "hard reset". This connects to one of the four yellow ports in the image below. Then connect your laptop to the router with an ethernet cord. Connect a telephone cord from here to the jack in the wall. In the back of the router is a green telephone jack labeled "DSL".
If you don't have these, call us up and we can give them to you. These are different from your email username and password. If your line is PPPOE you will need a username and password. We will ignoe the wizard and make it work by configuring by hand.īefore you start, you will need to know if youre DSL line is set up DHCP or PPPOE. They sugest to "run the wizard" and let the device conigure automatically. It's a classic example of bad interface design and bad instructions.
#Netgear router configuration how to#
You would never in a million years be able to figure out how to configure this router from the instructions. The instructions that come with the router are hopeless, and the ones online are no better. The router in the photo below was delivered to one of our customers, but Frontier configured it incorrectly. The interface is completely different than other Netgear models. It is a special version made for Frontier. These instructions will show you how to set up the Netear D2200D router.
