Position Your Modem Router  
The modem router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating  
range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless  
connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your modem  
router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through  
can limit the range. For best results, place your modem router:  
Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate and  
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.  
So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.  
In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings  
between the modem router and your other devices to a minimum.  
Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling  
fans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, or a 2.4 GHz cordless phone and  
its base.  
Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large  
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and  
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

Plug-to-WAN Jack Adapter and ADSL Microfilters  
If this is the first time you have cabled a modem router between a DSL phone line and your  
computer or laptop, you might not be familiar with ADSL microfilters. If you are, you can skip  
this section and proceed to Cable Your Modem Router on page 15.  
German Plug-to-WAN Jack Adapter  
If your subscriber line supports ADSL2+ Annex J, use the German plug-to-WAN jack adapter in  
between the DSL line and the microfilter or splitter. This adapter is part of the package that came with  
your modem router.  
Plugs into the DSL line  
Figure 6. German plug-to-WAN jack adapter  
ADSL Microfilters  
An ADSL microfilter is a small inline device that filters DSL interference out of standard phone  
equipment that shares the same line with your DSL service. Every telephone device that  
connects to a telephone line that provides DSL service needs an ADSL microfilter to filter out  
the DSL interference. Examples of devices are telephones, fax machines, answering  
machines, and caller ID displays. Not every phone line in your home necessarily carries DSL  
service. That depends on the DSL service setup in your home.  
One-Line ADSL Microfilter  
Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jack  
labeled Phone. The modem router plugs directly into a separate DSL line. Plugging the  
modem router into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection.  
.
Plugs into DSL line  
Figure 7. One-line ADSL microfilter  
If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the best solution is to use an  
ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter (see the next section, Two-Line ADSL Microfilter).  
If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the second-best solution is to  
get a separate splitter. To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into  
the phone outlet, connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter.

Two-Line ADSL Microfilter  
Use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter if you have a single wall outlet that provides  
connectivity for both the modem router and your telephone equipment. Plug the ADSL  
microfilter into the wall outlet, plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone, and  
plug the modem router into the jack labeled ADSL.

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3  
Modem Router Setup Preparation  
You can set up your modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use  
the genie menus and screens to set up your modem router manually. Before you start the  
setup process, get your ISP information and make sure the computers and devices in the  
network have the settings described here.  
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP  
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you must change the settings so that it  
uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).  
Gather ISP Information  
If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your  
modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service  
provider (ISP) provided you with all of the information needed to connect to the Internet. 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’s login program on your computer to access  
the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router automatically logs  
you in. Make sure that you have the following information:  
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account  
ISP login name and password  
Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this is rare)  
Wireless Devices and Security Settings  
Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2  
wireless security, which is the wireless security supported by the modem router.  
Types of Logins and Access  
There are separate types of logins that have different purposes. It is important that you  
understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.  
Modem Router login logs you in to the modem router web management interface. For  
ISP login logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider has provided you with  
this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login  
information, contact your service provider.  
Wireless network key or password. Your modem router is preset with a unique wireless  
network name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the label  
of your modem router.

Disable. NAT is disabled.  
xDSL Setup  
NETGEAR recommends that you use the Setup Wizard to detect the DSL connection and  
automatically set up the modem router (see Internet Connection Setup Wizard on page 47).  
If you have technical experience and are sure of the correct DSL mode, multiplexing method,  
and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier  
(VCI), you can specify those settings on the xDSL Setup screen. NETGEAR recommends  
that you change the WAN interface selection and enter the multiplexing method, VPI, VCI,  
and VLAN ID only if your ISP provided you this information.  
Use interface WAN1 for regular Internet service. Use interface WAN2 for Internet protocol  
television (IPTV) service. If your ISP provides IPTV service in addition to regular Internet  
service, you must configure both interface WAN1 and interface WAN2. If your ISP does not  
provide IPTV service to you, do not configure and enable interface WAN2.

Basic Wireless Settings  
The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.  
The modem router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name  
(SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the  
factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the label of the unit.  
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every  
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.  
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you change  
your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place  
where you can easily find it.  
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless  
security settings, you are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this  
problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the modem router.

Wireless Settings Screen Fields  
You can use this screen to view or change the wireless network settings and the security  
option.  
Enable SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the modem router to broadcast its SSID so  
wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This  
check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear this check box, and  
click the Apply button.  
Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, computers or wireless devices  
that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or access  
Ethernet devices on the network.  
Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a  
32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID  
is randomly generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this  
setting.  
Region. The location where the modem router is used. Select from the countries in the  
menu. In the United States, the region is fixed to North America and is not changeable.  
Channel. This setting is the wireless channel the modem router uses. The default setting  
is Auto, which allows the modem router to select the channel automatically. You can also  
enter a value from 1 through 13. (For products on the North American market, only  
Channels 1 through 11 can be operated.) Do not change the channel unless you  
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this  
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.  
To reduce interference when you use multiple access points, ensure that adjacent access  
points use different radio frequency channels. The recommended channel spacing  
between adjacent access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or  
6 and 10).  
Mode. Up to 65 Mbps is the default setting. The other settings are Up to 54 Mbps, and  
Up to 150 Mbps:  
-
-
-
Up to 54 Mbps allows 802.11g and 802.11b devices to join the network. This is a  
legacy mode that does not support 802.11n devices n the network.  
Up to 65 Mbps allows 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b devices to join the network. This  
mode works well for most networks.  
Up to 150 Mbps allows 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b devices to join the network.  
Use this mode if most devices in the network support 802.11n.  
Security Options. The modem router comes with unique preset wireless security. These  
settings are on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use preset security so  
that you can refer to the label if you forget the WiFi password. However, you can change  
the security option and passphrase. If you want to change the security options, see the  
following sections.

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3  
Security Options: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and  
WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode  
WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means  
that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies  
with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.  
These types of wireless security options use a pre-shared key (PSK), which is the same as a  
passphrase, wireless network password, or network key. For help with WPA settings on your  
wireless computer or device, see the instructions that came with your product.  
You can select from the following wireless PSK security options:  
WPA-PSK [TKIP]. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides strong data security with  
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. This option supports speeds of up to  
54 Mbps only.  
WPA2-PSK [AES]. Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) provides strong data  
security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. This is the preset wireless  
security that is enabled by default. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. This option  
supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps. If not all clients in your network support WPA2, select  
WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode.  
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK is referred to as mixed  
mode, which supports a combination of TKIP and AES encryption for both WPA and  
WPA2 clients. For WPA clients, this option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only. For  
WPA2 clients, this option supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps.  
To change the WPA wireless security option and passphrase:  
1. Select BASIC > Wireless.  
The Wireless Settings screen displays.  
2. In the Security Options section, select one of the WPA options with PSK:  
WPA-PSK [TKIP]  
WPA2-PSK [AES]  
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]  
3. In the associated Passphrase field, enter the passphrase that you want to use.

The passphrase is a text string from 8 to 63 ASCII characters or exactly 64 hexadecimal  
digits. A hexadecimal digit is one of the following characters: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A,  
B, C, D, E, and F (uppercase or lowercase).  
Wireless clients must use the passphrase to access the wireless network through the  
modem router.  
4. Click the Apply button.  
Security Options: WPA/WPA2 Enterprise  
This security option is not for home use but is typically used in a business or enterprise.  
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise does not use a passphrase but supports 802.1x authentication, which  
requires an internal or external RADIUS server. A Remote Authentication Dial In User  
Service (RADIUS) server provides Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)  
management to grant (or deny) computers access to your wireless network.  
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise can support WPA [TKIP] for WPA clients only, WPA2 [AES] for WPA2  
clients only, and WPA [TKIP] + WPA2 [AES], which is a combination of TKIP and AES  
encryption, for both WPA and WPA2 clients. WPA clients are supported at speeds of up to  
54 Mbps only. WPA2 clients are supported at speeds of up 300 Mbps.  
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise supports five Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication  
methods: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2, PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2, PEAPv1/EAP-GTC,  
and EAP-SIM.  
To configure WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security:  
1. Select BASIC > Wireless.  
The Wireless Settings screen displays.  
2. In the Security Options section, select the WPA/WPA2 Enterprise radio button.

Security Options: WEP  
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption  
mode that has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP supports speeds of up  
to 54 Mbps (the modem router can support speeds of up 150 Mbps) and does not function  
with WPS. However, if you set up a wireless distribution system (WDS; see Wireless  
Distribution System on page 103), WEP is the only security that can be supported.  
Note: The WEP option displays only if you select Up to 54 Mbps from the  
Mode menu.

games or videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the  
Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the modem router to respond to a  
ping from the Internet, select this check box. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool  
because it allows your modem router to be discovered. Do not select this check box  
unless you have a specific reason.  
Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows computers on the LAN to receive the  
multicast traffic they are subscribed to from the Internet. By default, this check box is  
selected, and the IGMP proxy is disabled, preventing multicast traffic from the Internet  
to the LAN. Clear the Disable IGMP Proxying check box to allow multicast traffic  
from the Internet to the LAN.  
MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most  
Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some  
ISPs, you might need to reduce the MTU. Reduce the MTU only if you are sure that it  
is necessary for your ISP connection. For more information, see Change the MTU  
NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the modem router  
processes inbound traffic:  
-
Secured NAT. Provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN  
from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games,  
point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. By default,  
the Secured radio button is selected.  
-
Open NAT. Provides a much less secured firewall, but allows almost all Internet  
applications to function.  
Disable SIP ALG. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Level Gateway  
(ALG) is enabled by default to optimize VoIP phone calls that use the SIP. Select the  
Disable SIP ALG check box to disable the SIP ALG. Disabling the SIP ALG might be  
useful when you are running certain applications.  
VPN Passthrough. When the modem router has Network Address Translation (NAT)  
enabled, it filters encrypted tunnel packets through NAT, causing these packets to  
become invalid. VPN pass-through allows encrypted tunnel packets to go through  
without being filtered, and is enabled by default for IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP packets.  
Do not disable VPN pass-through for IPSec, PPTP, or L2TP unless you have a  
specific reason.

Default DMZ Server  
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and  
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation  
(NAT). The modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to  
work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one  
local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered  
as the default DMZ server.  
WARNING:  
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the  
default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall  
and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the  
DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on  
your network.  
The modem router discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response to one of  
your local computers or a service that you have set up on the Port Forwarding / Port  
Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the modem router forward  
the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.  
To set up a default DMZ server:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.  
The WAN Setup screen displays.  
2. Select the Default DMZ Server check box.  
3. Type the IP address.  
4. Click the Apply button.  
Your settings are saved.  
Change the MTU Size  
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.  
When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets  
travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU  
setting than the other devices, the data packets are split or “fragmented” to accommodate the  
device with the smallest MTU.  
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value. In some  
situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU  
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:  
You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the technical  
support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting.

LAN Setup  
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host  
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).  
The modem router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and  
to act as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP configuration is:  
LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1  
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0  
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks  
and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing  
scheme, you can change these settings on the LAN Setup screen.  
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the modem router while  
connected through the browser, you are disconnected. If you want to  
continue to use the modem router menus, open a new connection to  
the new IP address and log in again.  
To change the LAN settings:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.  
2. Specify the settings that you want to customize.  
These settings are described in the following sections.

LAN Setup Screen Settings  
The following settings are available.  
Device Name  
By default, the device name is DGN1000Bv3, which is the modem router model. You can  
change the device name to another name.  
LAN TCP/IP Setup  
IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router. By default the LAN IP address is  
192.168.0.1.  
IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. By default the IP subnet  
mask is 255.255.255.0. Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a  
device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which addresses must be  
reached through a gateway or router.  
RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows the modem router to exchange  
routing information with other routers. This setting controls how the modem router sends  
and receives RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting,  
the modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only  
setting, the modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.  
RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP  
packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By  
default, the RIP function is disabled.  
-
RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an  
unusual network setup.  
-
RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in  
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.  
Use Router as DHCP Server  
By default, the Use Router as DHCP Server check box is selected so that the modem router  
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.  
Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the  
same subnet as the modem router. By default, the starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.  
Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the  
same subnet as the modem router. By default, the ending IP address is 192.168.0.254.  
For more information, see Specify DHCP Server Settings on page 55.  
Address Reservation  
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives  
the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP server. Assign  
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.

For more information, see Set Up Address Reservation on page 56.  
Specify DHCP Server Settings  
By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. The modem router assigns IP,  
DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The  
assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router. The modem  
router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified on  
the LAN Setup screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate  
addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the  
modem router work well.  
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:  
An IP address from the range that you have defined  
Subnet mask  
Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)  
DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)  
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns by setting the  
starting IP address and ending IP address. These addresses must be part of the same IP  
address subnet as the modem router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing  
scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to  
save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.  
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns:  
1. Select ADVANCED > LAN Setup.  
The LAN Setup screen displays.  
2. Make sure that the Use Router as a DHCP Server check box is selected.  
3. Specify the range of IP addresses.  
For example, using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.0.2  
and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with  
fixed addresses.  
In the Starting IP Address field, specify the start of the range for the pool of IP  
addresses in the same subnet as the modem router.  
In the Ending IP Address field, specify the end of the range for the pool of IP  
addresses in the same subnet as the modem router.

QoS Setup  
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of  
traffic ahead of others. The modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless  
link and on the Internet connection. You use the QoS Setup screen to set up QoS features.  
The following sections describe the QoS features.  
WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications  
The modem router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize  
wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS, which is enabled by  
default, provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on  
four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to  
receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both the application and the client running that application  
must have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications  
that do not require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower  
priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by default.  
If the modem router functions in Up to 65 Mbps wireless mode or Up to 150 Mbps wireless  
mode, you cannot disable WMM. You can disable WMM only if the modem router functions in  
Up to 54 Mbps wireless mode.  
To disable WMM QoS if the modem router functions in Up to 54 Mbps wireless mode:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.  
2. Clear the Enable WMM check box.  
3. Click the Apply button.

Quality of Service Priority Rules and Internet Access  
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:  
Specific applications  
Specific online games  
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the modem router  
A specific device by MAC address  
To specify prioritization of traffic, you must create a policy for the type of traffic and add the  
policy to the QoS Policy table on the QoS Setup screen. (The QoS Policy table displays only  
after you click the Setup QoS rule button on the QoS Setup screen.) For convenience, the  
QoS Policy table lists many common applications and online games that can benefit from  
QoS handling.  
By default, QoS is disabled for Internet traffic, the default QoS rules and any custom QoS  
rules that you created are not activated, and no traffic is prioritized.  
To enable QoS for Internet traffic and activate the QoS rules:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.  
2. Select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.  
3. Click the Apply button.  
Your settings are saved.

Set Up Firewall Rules to Control Network Access  
Your modem router has a firewall that blocks unauthorized access to your wireless network  
and permits authorized inbound and outbound communications. Authorized communications  
are established according to inbound and outbound rules. The firewall has the following two  
default rules:  
Inbound. Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side.  
Outbound. Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside.  
Security

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3  
You can add rules to further restrict the outbound communications or more widely open the  
inbound communications. Exceptions can be based on the service or application, source or  
destination IP addresses, and time of day. You can log traffic that matches or does not match  
the rule and change the order of rule precedence.  
Traffic attempting to pass through the firewall is subjected to the rules in the order shown in  
the Rules table from the top (highest precedence) to the bottom. In some cases, the order of  
precedence determines which communications are allowed into or out of the network.  
The Firewall Rules screen lists all firewall rules that you have added.  
To add a firewall rule for outbound traffic, see the following section, Manage Outbound  
To add a custom service that can be used in a firewall rule for outbound traffic, see Add  
To add or change firewall rules for inbound traffic, see Set Up Port Forwarding to Local  
After you have added outbound firewall rules, you can specify the days and time that you  
want to block Internet access. For more information, see Schedule When to Block the  
Manage Outbound Firewall Rules  
By default, the firewall allows all access from the LAN side to the outside. You can set up  
rules to restrict access to particular services or applications and to restrict particular source or  
destination IP addresses.  
Note: You cannot change or delete the default outbound firewall rule.

Perform Diagnostics  
You can perform two diagnostics tests:  
Ping an IP address or Host Name. Use this test to send a ping packet request to the  
specified IP address or host name.  
This test is often used to test a connection. If the request times out (in other words, no  
reply is received), this result usually means that the destination is unreachable. Note,  
however, that some network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.  
Perform a DNS Lookup. A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for  
example, www.netgear.com) to an IP address.  
If you need the IP address of a web, FTP, mail, or other server on the Internet, do a DNS  
lookup to find the IP address.  
For normal operation, these tests are not required.

Advanced Wireless Settings  
You can use this screen to turn the wireless radio on and off, to configure advanced wireless  
settings, to specify WPS settings, to use AP mode, and to set up a wireless access list.  
Control the Wireless Radio  
By default, the wireless radio is enabled so that you can connect wirelessly to the modem  
router. You can turn the wireless radio on or off on the Advanced Wireless Settings screen or  
by using the WiFi On/Off button on the modem router front panel. When the wireless radio is  
off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.  
To turn the radio on or off and change advanced settings for your wireless network:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.  
By default, the Enable Wireless Router Radio check box is selected.  
2. (Optional) Clear the Enable Wireless Router Radio check box.  
Clearing this check box turns off the WiFi feature of the modem router. When the wireless  
radio is disabled, you can still use the modem router by connecting computers to the  
modem router with an Ethernet cable. By default, the wireless radio is enabled.  
3. (Optional) Clear the Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence check box.  
By default, 20/40 MHz coexistence is enabled to prevent interference between wireless  
network in your environment at the expense of the wireless speed. If there are no other

Coexistence check box to increase the wireless speed to the maximum supported speed.  
WARNING:  
The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble  
Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced  
configuration only. Do not change these settings unless directed  
by NETGEAR support. Incorrect settings might disable the  
wireless function of the modem router unexpectedly.  
4. (Optional) Lower the wireless transmit power by selecting a value lower than 100% from the  
Transmit Power Control menu.  
The setting of 100% allows the modem router to use the maximum wireless transmit  
power to transmit wireless packets. Reducing the transmit power can save the power  
consumption for the modem router but also reduces the wireless coverage. If you want to  
have maximum wireless coverage, NETGEAR recommends that you leave the setting on  
the Transmit Power Control menu at 100%.  
5. Click the Apply button.  
Your changes take effect.  
Set Up a Wireless Schedule

settings change to an automatically generated SSID and passphrase (also  
referred to as the wireless network password or network key).  
6. Click the Apply button.  
Your settings are saved.  
Set Up a Wireless Access List by MAC Address  
By default, any wireless device that is configured with the correct SSID is allowed access to  
your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network  
to allow only specific wireless devices based on their MAC addresses.  
Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,  
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F (uppercase or lowercase) only, and  
separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the  
label of the wireless card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the label,  
you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer.  
You might also find the MAC addresses on the Attached Devices screen.  
Note: If you use a wireless computer to set up a wireless card access list,  
add your wireless computer to the access list; otherwise, you are  
disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this

Wireless Distribution System  
You can set the modem router up to be used as a wireless base station or a wireless repeater  
in a wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through  
multiple access points. A wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and  
wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless  
repeater. A wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the  
Internet through the wireless base station. The following figure shows a wireless repeating  
scenario.

The modem router can function either as a base station or as a repeater:  
Wireless base station. The modem router acts as the parent access point, bridging  
traffic to and from the child repeater access point, as well as handling wireless and wired  
local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the child  
repeater access point.  
Wireless repeater. The modem router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired  
computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC  
address of the remote parent access point.  
For you to set up a wireless network in a WDS, the following conditions must be met for both  
access points:  
Both access points must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.  
Both access points must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point LAN  
IP addresses are in the same network.  
All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the  
same LAN network address range as the access points.  
The channel selection on the access points cannot be Auto (see Basic Wireless Settings  
The security option needs to be WEP (see Basic Wireless Settings on page 36).  
Note: When you use the wireless repeating function, WPS becomes disabled.  
Set Up the Base Station  
The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be  
daisy-chained. You must know the wireless MAC addresses of all units. First, set up the base  
station, and then set up the repeater.

Port Forwarding and Port Triggering  
By default, the modem router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers  
except replies to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule for  
these purposes:  
To enable remote computers on the Internet to access a server on your local network.  
To enable certain applications and games to work correctly if the modem router does not  
recognize their replies.  
Your modem router provides two features for creating these exceptions: port forwarding and  
port triggering. The next sections provide background information to help you understand  
how port forwarding and port triggering work, and the differences between the two.  
Remote Computer Access Basics  
When a computer on your network needs to access a computer on the Internet, your  
computer sends your modem router a message containing the source and destination  
address and process information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer,  
your modem router has to modify the source information and create and track the  
communication session so that replies can be routed back to your computer.  
Here is an example of normal outbound traffic and the resulting inbound responses:  
1. You open a browser, and your operating system assigns port number 5678 to this  
browser session.  
2. You type http://www.example.com into the URL field, and your computer creates a web page  
request message with the following address and port information. The request message is  
sent to your modem router:  
Source address. Your computer’s IP address  
Source port number. 5678, which is the browser session  
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which your computer  
finds by asking a DNS server  
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server  
process  
3. Your modem router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this  
communication session between your computer and the web server at www.example.com.  
Before sending the web page request message to www.example.com, your modem router  
stores the original information and then modifies the source information in the request  
message, performing Network Address Translation (NAT):  
The source address is replaced with your modem router’s public IP address. This  
requirement is necessary because your computer uses a private IP address that is  
not globally unique and cannot be used on the Internet.  
The source port number is changed to a number chosen by the modem router, such  
as 33333. This requirement is necessary because two computers might  
independently be using the same session number.

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3  
Your modem router then sends this request message through the Internet to the web  
server at www.example.com.  
4. The web server at www.example.com composes a return message with the requested web  
page data. The return message contains the following address and port information. The  
web server then sends this reply message to your modem router:  
Source address. The IP address of www.example.com  
Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process  
Destination address. The public IP address of your modem router  
Destination port number. 33333  
5. Upon receiving the incoming message, your modem router checks its session table to  
determine whether there is an active session for port number 33333. Finding an active  
session, the modem router then modifies the message to restore the original address  
information replaced by NAT. Your modem router sends this reply message to your  
computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com. The message now  
contains the following address and port information:  
Source address. The IP address of www.example.com  
Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process  
Destination address. Your computer’s IP address  
Destination port number. 5678, which is the browser session that made the initial  
request  
6. When you finish your browser session, your modem router eventually detects a period of  
inactivity in the communications. Your modem router then removes the session information  
from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port number 33333.  
Port Triggering to Open Incoming Ports  
Some application servers (such as FTP and IRC servers) send replies to multiple port  
numbers. Using the port triggering function of your modem router, you can tell the modem  
router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port originates a session.  
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at  
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but  
also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can  
tell the modem router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also  
allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” Using steps similar to  
the preceding example, the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule  
you have defined:  
1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.  
2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port  
number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then  
sends this request message to your modem router.  
3. Your modem router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this  
communication session between your computer and the IRC server. Your modem router

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3  
stores the original information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source  
address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.  
4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667,  
your modem router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic  
to your computer.  
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your modem router using the NAT-assigned  
source port (for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an  
“identify” message to your modem router with destination port 113.  
6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your modem router  
checks its session table to determine whether there is an active session for port number  
33333. Finding an active session, the modem router restores the original address  
information replaced by NAT and sends this reply message to your computer.  
7. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 113, your modem router checks  
its session table and learns that there is an active session for port 113 associated with your  
computer. The modem router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your  
computer’s IP address and forwards the message to your computer.  
8. When you finish your chat session, your modem router eventually senses a period of  
inactivity in the communications. The modem router then removes the session information  
from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or  
113.  
To configure port triggering, you must know which inbound ports the application needs. Also,  
you must know the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound  
ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the  
application or the user groups or news groups.  
Note: Only one computer at a time can use the triggered application.  
Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications  
In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a  
server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the  
Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your modem  
router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can  
configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.  
A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server  
relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer’s  
browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using  
port forwarding, you can tell the modem router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80  
(the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at  
192.168.0.123.”

The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:  
1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from  
www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your modem router. The  
remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination  
information:  
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of  
your modem router  
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server  
process  
The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your  
modem router.  
2. Your modem router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules  
covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that  
incoming port 80 traffic needs to be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.0.123. Therefore,  
your modem router modifies the destination information in the request message:  
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.0.123.  
Your modem router then sends this request message to your local network.  
3. Your web server at 192.168.0.123 receives the request and composes a return message  
with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your  
modem router.  
4. Your modem router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address,  
and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which  
displays the web page from www.example.com.  
To configure port forwarding, you must know which inbound ports the application needs. You  
usually can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the  
relevant user groups or news groups.  
How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering  
The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering:  
Any computer on your network can use port triggering, although only one computer can  
use it at a time.  
Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network.  
With port triggering, the modem router does not need to know the computer’s IP address  
in advance. The IP address is captured automatically.  
Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer’s IP address during configuration,  
and the IP address can never change.  
Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the  
triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.  
Port forwarding is always active and does not need to be triggered.

Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers  
The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on  
your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or  
game server visible and available to the Internet.  
Use the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen to configure the modem router to forward  
specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for  
specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming  
protocols are forwarded.  
Before you start, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide,  
and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server computer  
needs to always have the same IP address.  
To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP  
address feature of your product. For more information, see Set Up Address Reservation on  
To forward specific incoming protocols:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.  
2. Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.

Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public  
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web  
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.  
To make a local web server public:  
1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP  
address reservation.  
In this example, your modem router always gives your web server an IP address of  
192.168.0.33.  
2. On the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, configure the modem router to forward the  
HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.0.33.  
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.  
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your modem  
router to use the name.  
To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user has to know the IP address  
that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can  
reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.  
Set Up and Manage Port Triggering  
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:  
More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not  
simultaneously).  
An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.  
When port triggering is enabled, the modem router monitors outbound traffic looking for a  
specified outbound “trigger” port. When the modem router detects outbound traffic on that  
port, it remembers the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The modem router  
then temporarily opens the specified incoming port or ports and forwards incoming traffic on  
the triggered ports to the triggering computer.  
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer.  
Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close  
the ports when they are no longer needed.  
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer  
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging,  
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), NETGEAR  
recommends that you also enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).  
For more information, see Universal Plug and Play on page 122.

Manage Port Triggering  
By default, port triggering is enabled with a time-out period of 20 minutes.  
The time-out value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound  
ports close when the inactivity time expires. This is required because the modem router  
cannot detect when the application has terminated.  
If you disable port triggering after you configured port triggering services, the services are  
retained even though they are not used.  
To change the port triggering time-out period:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.

Dynamic DNS  
If your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned (fixed) IP address,  
you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public  
Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically  
assigned IP address, you do not know your IP address in advance, and the address can  
change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type  
of service lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at  
your domain to your frequently changing IP address.  
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic  
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.  
Your modem router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided  
by DynDNS.org. First visit their website at http://www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and  
host name that you configure in the modem router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP  
address changes, your modem router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service  
provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host name is  
hostname, for example, you can reach your modem router at http://hostname.dyndns.org.  
To set up Dynamic DNS:  
1. Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose URLs  
are in the Service Provider menu.  
2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Dynamic DNS.  
3. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box.  
4. Select the URL of your Dynamic DNS service provider.  
For example, for DynDNS.org, select www.DynDNS.org. The DNS service providers that  
you can select from the menu depend on the region and country in which you use the  
modem router.  
5. In the Host name field, type the host or domain name that your Dynamic DNS service  
provider gave you.  
6. In the User Name field, type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account.

Static Routes  
Static routes provide more routing information to your modem router. Typically, you do not  
need to add static routes. You need to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as  
multiple modem routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.  
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:  
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.  
You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where  
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.  
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.  
When you first configured your modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A  
default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was  
created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you  
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router forwards your  
request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed,  
and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.  
In this case you need to define a static route, instructing your modem router that 134.177.0.0  
is accessed through the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100. In this example:  
The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route  
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.  
The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses is forwarded to  
the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100.  
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN modem router is on the LAN.  
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

2. Click the Add button.  
3. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route.  
This name is for identification purposes only.  
4. (Optional) To limit access to the LAN only, select the Private check box.  
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.  
5. (Optional) To prevent the route from becoming effective after you click the Apply button,  
clear the Active check box.  
By default, the Active check box is selected and a route becomes effective after you click  
the Apply button.  
6. In the Destination IP Address fields, type the IP address of the final destination of the route.  
7. In the IP Subnet Mask fields, type the IP subnet mask of the final destination of the route.  
If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255.  
8. In the Gateway IP Address fields, type the IP address of the gateway, which needs to be on  
the same LAN segment as the modem router.  
9. In the Metric field, type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.  
This value represents the number of modem routers between your network and the  
destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.

Remote Management  
The remote management feature lets you update or check the status of your modem router  
over the Internet.  
Note: Be sure to change the modem router default login password to a  
secure password. A secure password contains no dictionary words  
from any language and contains uppercase and lowercase letters,  
numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters. For more  
information, see Change the Password on page 91.

8080, enter http://203.0.113.123:8080 in your browser.  
Universal Plug and Play  
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,  
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can  
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.  
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time  
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance, NETGEAR recommends  
that you enable UPnP.

By default, this check box is selected. You can disable UPnP for automatic device  
configuration. If you clear the Turn UPnP On check box, the modem router does not allow  
any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of  
the modem router.  
3. Type the advertisement period in minutes.  
The advertisement period specifies how often the modem router broadcasts its UPnP  
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is  
30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the  
expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of  
the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.  
4. Type the advertisement time to live in hops.  
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet  
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range  
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which is fine  
for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or  
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.  
5. Click the Apply button.  
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing  
the modem router and which internal and external port that device has opened. The

More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets  
More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet  
More than two colons in a row  
IPv6 Filtering  
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 Pass Through, the  
modem router starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN  
interface. The modem router creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6  
packet. If the inbound packet is not destined to the modem router itself and the modem router  
does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet is not in the connection record, the  
modem router blocks this packet. This function has two modes:  
Secured. In secured mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and UDP packets.  
Open. In open mode, the modem router inspects UDP packets only.

Quick Tips  
This section describes tips for troubleshooting some common problems.  
Sequence to Restart Your Network  
If you need to restart your network, follow this sequence:  
1. Turn off and unplug the modem router.  
2. Plug in the modem router and turn it on.  
Wait two minutes.  
Check Ethernet Cable Connections  
Make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.  
For each powered-on computer connected to the modem router by an Ethernet cable, the  
corresponding numbered LAN port LED on the modem router is on.  
Wireless Settings  
Make sure that the wireless settings in the wireless computer and modem router match  
exactly.  
For a wirelessly connected computer, the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless  
security settings of the modem router and wireless computer must match exactly.  
If you set up an access list on the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, you must add  
each wireless computer’s MAC address to the modem router’s access list.  
Network Settings  
Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct.  
Wired and wirelessly connected computers must have network (IP) addresses on the  
same network as the modem router. The easiest way to do this is to use computers that  
obtain an IP address automatically with DHCP. Most computers are set up this way.  
Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the  
computer initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address on the  
Attached Devices screen.

Troubleshoot with the LEDs  
When you turn on the power, the Power, LAN, and DSL LEDs light as described here. If they  
do not, refer to the sections that follow for help.  
1. When power is first applied, the Power LED lights solid red.  
2. After approximately 10 seconds, the LAN port LED lights green  
for any local ports that  
are connected.  
3. After approximately 1 minute, the DSL link LED lights green  
to indicate that a DSL link is  
established.  
4. After approximately one minute, the Power LED turns solid green  
.
Power LED Is Off  
If the Power  
and other LEDs are off when your modem router is turned on:  
Check that the On/Off button on the back panel is in the On position, that is, it is pushed  
in.  
Check that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and that the  
power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.  
Check that you are using the 12 VDC 1A power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this  
product.  
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem. For recovery instructions, or help  
with a hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.  
Power LED Is Red  
When the modem router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test, during which time the  
Power LED turns red. If the Power LED does not turn green within a minute or so, or if it turns  
red at any other time during normal operation, there is a fault within the modem router.  
If the Power LED turns red to indicate a modem router fault, turn the power off and on to see  
if the modem router recovers. If the Power LED is still red one minute after power-up:  
Turn the power off and on one more time to see if the modem router recovers.  
Clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults (see Side Panel with Restore  
Factory Settings Button on page 12). This sets the modem router’s IP address to  
192.168.0.1.  
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery instructions, or help with a  
hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.

Power LED Is Blinking  
If the Power LED blinks slowly and continuously, the firmware of the modem router is  
corrupted. This can occur if a firmware update is interrupted, or if the modem router detects a  
problem with the firmware.  
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery instructions, or help with a  
hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.  
WiFi LED Is Off  
If the WiFi LED  
stays off, check to see if the WiFi On/Off button on the modem router has  
been pressed. This button turns the wireless radio in the modem router on and off. The WiFi  
LED lights when the wireless radio is turned on.  
LAN LED Is Off  
If the LAN LED  
for a port does not light when you connect a device, check the following:  
The Ethernet cable connections are secure at the modem router and at the hub or device.  
The power is turned on to the connected hub or device.  
You are using the correct cable.  
Cannot Log In to the Modem Router  
If you are unable to log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network, check  
the following:  
If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection  
between the computer and the modem router (see the previous section).  
Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using  
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.  
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.  
Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name  
is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you  
enter this information.  
Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the modem router.  
If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address must be  
in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.  
If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and  
Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server.  
These autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in  
this range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router, and reboot your  
computer.

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3  
If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP  
address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the modem  
router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Side Panel with  
Troubleshoot the Internet Connection  
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, check the ADSL connection, then the  
WAN TCP/IP connection.  
ADSL Link  
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, first determine whether you have a  
DSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the Internet  
LED  
.
DSL LED Is Green  
If your DSL link LED  
is green, you have a good ADSL connection. You can be confident  
that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is correct.  
DSL LED Is Blinking Green  
If your DSL LED is blinking green, your modem router is attempting to make an ADSL  
connection with the service provider. The DSL LED turns green within several minutes.  
If the DSL LED does not turn green, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the  
problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each  
telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you can connect all your telephones.  
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green DSL LED, there might be a problem  
with your wiring. If the telephone company has tested the ADSL signal at your network  
interface device (NID), then you might have poor-quality wiring in your house.  
DSL LED Is Off or Internet LED is Off  
If the DSL LED is off, Internet LED is off, or both are off, disconnect all telephones on the line.  
If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a  
microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you can connect all  
your telephones.  
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green DSL LED, check for the following:  
Check that the telephone company has made the connection to your line and tested it.  
Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If you have more than one  
phone line, be sure that you are connected to the line with the ADSL service. It might be  
necessary to use a swapper if your ADSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 or the RJ-11 jack. The  
modem router uses pins 2 and 3.

Internet LED Is Red  
If the Internet LED is red, the device was unable to connect to the Internet. Verify the  
following:  
Check that your login credentials are correct, or that the information you entered on the  
Internet Setup screen is correct.  
Check if your ISP has a problem—it might not be that the modem router cannot connect  
to the Internet, but rather that your ISP that cannot provide an Internet connection.  
Obtaining an Internet IP Address  
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, and your Internet LED is green, see if  
the modem router can obtain an Internet IP address from the ISP. Unless you have been  
assigned a static IP address, your modem router requests an IP address from the ISP. You  
can determine whether the request was successful using the browser interface.  
To check the WAN IP address:  
1. Launch your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com.  
2. Access the main menu of the modem router’s at http://www.routerlogin.net.  
3. Select Administration > Router Status.  
4. Check that an IP address is shown for the Internet port.  
If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your modem router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP.  
If your modem router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be  
one of the following:  
Your Internet service provider (ISP) might require a login program.  
Ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of  
login.  
If you have selected a login program, the service name, user name, or password might be  
incorrectly set.  
For more information, see the following section, Troubleshoot PPPoE or PPPoA.  
Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name.  
Assign the computer host name of your ISP account as the account name on the Internet  
Setup screen.  
Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and might check  
for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:

Troubleshoot PPPoE or PPPoA  
To verify if your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is working:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Status.  
The Router Status screen displays.  
2. In the Modem pane, check the following:  
The Modem Status is connected.  
3. In the Internet Port pane, check the following:  
A valid IP address and subnet mask are displayed.  
The connection is PPPoE or PPPoA.  
4. In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.  
The Connection Status screen displays.  
5. Check the following:  
The Connection Status is connected.  
The Connection Time is not zero (00:00:00).  
If all of the information is correct, your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is working.  
If your PPPoE or PPPoA connection does not function, attempt to reconnect:  
1. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Status.  
The Router Status screen displays.  
2. In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.  
The Connection Status screen displays.  
3. Click the Connect button.  
The modem router attempts to reconnect.  
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name,  
user name, or password. There might also be a provisioning problem with your ISP.  
Unless you connect manually, the modem router does not authenticate using PPPoE or  
PPPoA until data is transmitted to the network.  
Troubleshoot Internet Browsing  
If your modem router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any web  
pages from the Internet:  
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.  
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www  
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or  
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address when you set up the modem

router, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can  
configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating  
system documentation.  
Your computer might not have the modem router configured as its TCP/IP modem router.  
If your computer obtains its information from the modem router by DHCP, reboot the  
computer, and verify the modem router address.  
Changes Not Saved  
If the modem router does not save the changes you make in the modem router web  
management interface, check the following:  
When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to  
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.  
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have  
occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.  
Wireless Connectivity  
If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the modem router, try to isolate the  
problem.  
Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?  
If not, check the WiFi LED on the front of the modem router. If it is off, you can press the  
WiFi On/Off button on the front of the modem router to turn the modem router wireless  
radio back on.  
If you disabled the modem router’s SSID broadcast, your wireless network is hidden and  
does not display in your wireless client’s scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is  
enabled.)  
Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless  
network (WPA or WPA2)?  
If you want to view the wireless settings for the modem router, use an Ethernet cable to  
connect a computer to a LAN port on the modem router. Then log in to the modem router,  
and select Wireless (see Basic Wireless Settings on page 36).  
Note: Be sure to click the Apply button if you change settings.  
If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these  
conditions:  
Is your modem router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near  
the modem router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see whether the signal  
strength improves.  
Are objects between the modem router and your computer blocking the wireless signal?

Incorrect Date or Time  
The modem router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one  
of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date  
and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:  
Date shown is January 1, 2003. This means the modem router has not yet reached a  
network time server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If you have  
just finished setting up the modem router, wait at least five minutes, and check the date  
and time again.  
Time is off by one hour. The modem router has an automatic daylight saving time setting.  
To change the modem router setting for daylight saving time:  
1. Select Security > Schedule.  
2. Select the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box.  
3. Click the Apply button.  
Your changes are saved.  
TCP/IP Network Not Responding  
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers have a ping utility for sending an echo request  
packet to the designated device. The device responds with an echo reply to tell whether a  
TCP/IP network is responding to requests.  
Test the LAN Path to Your Modem Router  
You can ping the modem router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your  
modem router is set up correctly.  
To ping the modem router from a Windows computer:  
1. From the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and select Run.  
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the modem router, as in this  
example:  
ping 192.168.0.1  
3. Click the OK button.  
A message such as the following one displays:  
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data  
If the path is working, you see this message:  
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx

If the path is not working, you see this message:  
Request timed out  
If the path is not functioning correctly, you might have one of the following problems:  
Wrong physical connections  
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port  
to which you are connected.  
Wrong network configuration  
-
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both  
installed and configured on your computer or workstation.  
-
Verify that the IP address for your modem router and your workstation are correct  
and that the addresses are on the same subnet.  
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device  
After you verify that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a  
remote device:  
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.  
2. In the Windows Run screen, type:  
ping -n 10 IP address  
where IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.  
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as described in Test the LAN Path to Your Modem  
Router on page 146 display. If you do not receive replies:  
Check that your computer has the IP address of your modem router listed as the default  
modem router. If the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this  
information is not visible in your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP  
address of the modem router is listed as the default router.  
Check that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified  
by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.  
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account  
name on the Internet Setup screen (see Internet Setup on page 24).  
Your ISP might be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your  
computers.  
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of  
your modem, but some additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single  
computer connected to that modem. In this case, configure your modem router to clone  
or spoof the MAC address from the authorized computer.
