Attach the Antennas
You must install the antennas for a 4G LTE™ connection. The antennas are interchangeable.
To attach the antennas:
1. Align the antennas with the antenna posts on the router.
2. Attach the antennas on the threaded antenna posts, ensuring that the connection is secure.
3. Adjust the antenna positions.
You can swivel the antennas in any direction.
Find the Best Spot for Your Router
The router lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating range of your
wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection
depends on where you put your router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the
wireless signal passes through can limit the range.
Position your router upright. Place the router near an AC power outlet in a location with a
strong wireless broadband signal, such as near a window.

Block Services from the Internet
Services are functions that server computers perform at the request of client computers. For
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and
game hosts serve data about players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a
request for service to a server computer, a port number identifies the requested service. This
number displays as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a
packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web server) request.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/) defines service numbers
for many common protocols and they are published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.”
Authors of the applications typically choose service numbers from the range 1024–65535.
Although the router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to
these choices. You can often find port number information by contacting the publisher of the
application, by asking user groups or newsgroups, or by searching.
The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet services by computers on
your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for blocking,
first find out which port number or range of numbers the application uses.
To block services:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.

4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Block Services.
5. Specify when to block the services:

To block the services based on a schedule, select the Per Schedule radio button.

a. If you know that the application uses either TCP or UDP, select the appropriate
protocol; otherwise, select TCP/UDP (both).
b. Enter the starting port and ending port numbers.
•
•
If the service uses a single port number, enter that number in both fields.
To find out which port numbers the service or application uses, you can contact
the publisher of the application, ask user groups or newsgroups, or search on the
Internet.
10. To specify how to filter the services, select one of the following radio buttons:
•
•
Only This IP Address. Block services for a single computer.
IP Address Range. Block services for a range of computers with consecutive IP
addresses on your network.
•
All lP Addresses. Block services for all computers on your network.

Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications
In both 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 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 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 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 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
router.
2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering
the handling of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port
80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.0.123. Therefore, your router
modifies the destination information in the request message:
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.0.123.
Your 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
router.
4. Your 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 need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the
relevant user groups or news groups.

Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server
If you have a server in your home network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to
reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or
game server visible and available to the Internet.
The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local
network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default DMZ
server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.
To forward specific incoming protocols:
1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.

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 router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.0.33.
2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
3. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, configure the 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.
4. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to
use the name.
To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user must 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.
5. Click the Apply button.
How the Router Implements the Port Forwarding Rule
The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:
1. When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends 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 router.
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server
process.
2. Your router receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80
traffic.
3. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.0.123 and sends
the message to that computer.
4. Your web server at IP address 192.168.0.123 receives the request and sends a reply
message to your router.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)
5. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and
sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or wireless device that sent the web
page request.
Set Up Port Triggering
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•
An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not
simultaneously).
•
An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger” port
that you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the router saves the IP address of the
computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that
you specify in your rule, and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local
computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and
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), enable Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP). For more information, see Universal Plug and Play

If this check box is selected, the router does not use port triggering even if you have
specified port triggering settings.
7. In the Port Triggering Time-out field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.
This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router detects no
activity. This value is required because the router cannot detect when the application
terminates.
Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a
particular outgoing port starts 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 router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow
incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” 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 router.
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router 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 observing the destination port number of 6667, your
router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your 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 router with destination port 113.
6. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks its
session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active session,
the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply
message to your computer.
7. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks its
session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your computer. The
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 router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the
communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table,
and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.

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 have to be 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 setting
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:
•
You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the ISP
technical support recommends changing the MTU setting. These web-based applications
might require an MTU change:
-
-
-
-
A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page.
Yahoo email.
MSN portal.
America Online’s DSL service.
•
•
You use VPN and have severe performance problems.
You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have
connectivity or performance problems.
Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication
problems. For instance, you might not be able to access certain
websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP
servers.
If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are
willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500

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 router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the router
forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ
server.

Specify the IP Addresses that the Router Assigns
By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
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 router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.

Quality of Service Setup
QoS is an advanced feature that you can use to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet
connection.
WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The router supports WiFi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless
voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS 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 it 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.
To disable WMM QoS:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

Set Up a Wireless Distribution System
The router can act as a wireless base station or a wireless repeater in a wireless distribution
system (WDS). A WDS expands 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.
Note: To use the wireless repeating function, your router cannot have
security enabled and cannot use the auto channel feature.

Figure 5. Wireless repeating scenario
You must set up a wireless base station and a wireless repeater:
•
Wireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point that bridges traffic to
and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and
wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the
child repeater access point. Often, the MAC address is on the product label.
•
Wireless repeater. The 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.
The router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you
enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless
repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base
station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base
station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.
Before you an set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points must meet the
following conditions:
•
•
Use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
Be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all of the access point LAN IP addresses are in
the same network.
•
All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) are configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the access points.

Access a USB Storage Device
ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB drive connected to the router USB port. (If
your USB drive has special drivers, it is not compatible.)
To connect a USB storage device:
1. Insert your USB storage device into a USB port on the rear panel of the router.
2. If your USB drive has a power supply, you must use it when you connect the USB drive to
the router.
It might take up to two minutes before the USB device is ready for sharing. By default, the
USB drive is available to all computers on your local area network (LAN).
To access the USB drive from a Mac:
1. Select Go > Connect to Server.
2. Enter smb://readyshare as the server address.
3. Click the Connect button.
To access the USB drive from a Windows computer:
1. Select Start > Run.
2. Enter \\readyshare in the dialog box and click the OK button.

You can view the router’s Internet IP address on the BASIC Home screen.
To access the USB drive with FTP from a remote computer:
1. Make sure that the FTP check box is selected in the Access Method section of the USB
Storage (Advanced Settings) screen.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. Enter ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser.
For example, type ftp://10.1.65.4.
If you are using Dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name rather than the IP address.

The directories of the USB drive that your account has access to display. For example,
you could see share/partition1/directory1. You can now read and copy files from the USB
directory.
File-Sharing Scenarios
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational
purposes. The files can be any Windows, Mac, or Linux file type including text, Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, pictures, and multimedia files. USB drive applications include:
•
Sharing multimedia such as MP3 files, pictures, and other multimedia with local and
remote users.
•
Sharing resources on your network. You can store files in a central location so that you do
not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files
between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB drive as a
go-between across the systems.
•
Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with
remote users.
A few common uses are described in the following sections.
Share Photos
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This method
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
To share files with your friends and family:
Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive
using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.
You can specify read-only access or allow access from the Internet. For more information,
Store Files in a Central Location for Printing
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print
server.
•
•
One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a Windows computer, but not
shared on the network.
•
The Mac and Windows computer are not visible to each other on the network.

To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a Windows computer:
1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2. On the Window computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from
the USB drive to the computer. Then print the files.
Share Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the
Internet. You can use FTP to download shared files from the router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•
The two user accounts are admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has
no password.
•
•
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the
password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)
Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
Note: You can select the HTTP (via Internet) check box on the USB Storage
(Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports
downloading files only.

Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to
add static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple
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 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 router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company’s firewall
is likely to deny the request.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN 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 should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
•
•
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
To set up a static route:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.

5. Click the Add button.
6. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only).
7. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.
8. Select the Active check box to make this route effective.
9. Type the IP address of the final destination.
10. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255.
11. Type the gateway IP address, which must be on the same LAN segment as the router.
12. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
This value represents the number of 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.

Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned on by default in the router. UPnP helps devices
such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices
as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover services from other registered UPnP
devices on the network. Applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections,
or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in
Windows XP), use UPnP.

6. In the Advertisement Period field, type the number of minutes.
This setting specifies how often the 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 more network
traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status, but can
significantly reduce network traffic.
7. In the Advertisement Time to Live field, type the number of hops.
Hops are the UPnP steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks.

If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as a replacement for an ADSL
gateway in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services. For
example, the router cannot convert ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking
information. This network configuration is not supported.
Problems with Date and Time
The Email screen displays the current date and time of day. The 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, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that
your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed
configuring the router, wait at least five minutes, and check the date and time again.
Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not automatically sense daylight saving time. On the Email
screen, select or clear the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box.
Forgotten WiFi Password
The default WiFi network name and password are on the product label. These settings are
unique to your router, so you do not have to change them. If you did change the WiFi
password and have forgotten it, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer and
log in to the router so you can view its WiFi settings.
To use an Ethernet connection to log in and view the WiFi settings:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN Ethernet port on the router.
2. Launch an Internet browser from the computer.
3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

WiFi Connectivity
If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the 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 router. If it is off, you can press the WiFi On/Off button
on the router to turn the router wireless radios back on.
If you disabled the 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 your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these
conditions:
•
Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the
router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see if the signal strength improves.
•
Are objects between the router and your computer blocking the WiFi signal?
Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility
Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to
the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily
troubleshoot a network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.
Test the LAN Path to Your Router
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
To ping the router from a Windows computer:
1. From the Windows toolbar, select Start > Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:
ping www.routerlogin.net
3. Click the OK button.
You should see a message like this one:
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 could 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.
Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are
lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.
•
Wrong network configuration.
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and
configured on your computer.
Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the
addresses are on the same subnet.
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote
device.
1. From the Windows toolbar, select Start > Run.
2. In the Windows Run window, 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 like those shown in the previous section are
displayed.
If you do not receive replies:
•
Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway.
If DHCP assigns the IP configuration of your computer, this information is not visible in
your computer Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as
the default gateway.
•
Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address
specified by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
•
•
Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account
name in the Internet Setup screen.
•
Your ISP could 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 broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a
single computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, configure your router to
“clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer.

In addition to using your router with a 4G LTE™ Internet connection as usual, you can set it up to
use an Ethernet WAN connection to broadband Internet service. To use an Ethernet WAN
connection, you need a broadband modem with Internet service (such as a broadband cable
modem and an account with a cable modem ISP).
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 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 router automatically logs you in.

Router’s IPv6 Address On WAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the router’s WAN (or Internet) interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length
of the prefix, which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no
address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.
Router’s IPv6 Address On LAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix,
which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is
acquired, the field displays Not Available.
6. In the Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
7. In the Service Name field, enter a service name.
If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.
Note: The default setting of the Connection Mode field is Always On to provide
a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the connection. If the
connection is terminated, for example, when the modem is turned off, the router
attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the PPPoE connection
becomes available again.
8. Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the
LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
•
•
Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
Auto Config. This is the default setting.
9. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
10. Click the Apply button.
Troubleshoot an Ethernet WAN Internet Connection
Check these possible sources of trouble if you are having difficulty connecting to or browsing
the Internet.

2. Wireless broadband coverage is available where the unit is located.
3. Log in to the router and verify that the broadband settings are correct. Check with your ISP
if you are unsure.
4. Check the location of the router.
a. Move the router closer to a window for better access to the Internet signal. A Signal
Quality LED that is off indicates no coverage.
b. Maintain recommended minimum distances between NETGEAR equipment and
household appliances to reduce interference.
5. Adjust the antenna positions.
Troubleshoot Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages
from the Internet:
•
The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit might have been reached.
By configuring the traffic meter not to block, you can resume Internet access. If you have
a usage limit, your ISP might charge you for the overage.
•
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 during the router’s
configuration, 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 router configured as its TCP/IP router.
If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, computer, and verify
the router address.
