Position Your Modem Router
The modem router lets you access your network 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.
Additionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might affect your modem
router’
s signal. Wireless access points are modem routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders,
or any other device that emits a wireless signal for network access.
Position your modem router according to the following guidelines:
• Place your modem router near the center of the area where your computers and other
devices operate, and within line of sight to your wireless devices.
Hardware Setup
10
N300 WiFi Cable Modem Router Model C3000
• Make sure that the modem router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet
cables for wired computers.
• Place the modem router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings
between the modem router and your other devices.
• Place the modem router away from electrical devices such as these:
- Ceiling fans
- Home security systems
- Microwaves
- Computers
- Base of a cordless phone
- 2.4 GHz cordless phone
• Place the modem router away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, and
insulated walls such as these:
- Solid metal door
- Aluminum studs
- Fish tanks
- Mirrors
- Brick
- Concrete
• (Optional) If you have adjacent access points, use different radio frequency channels to
reduce interference.
Cable Your Modem Router
The most common way to cable your modem router is the simplest, without any other routers
or gateways on the same network. You can also cable the modem router to another router or
gateway and log in to the modem router to specify this setting.

 To cable your modem router:
1. Connect a coaxial cable from the cable port on the modem router
to a cable wall outlet
or a line splitter.
Use the coaxial cable that your cable company provides.
Note: If Charter is your cable Internet service provider (ISP), Charter
recommends connecting your modem router directly to a cable wall
outlet. If you must use a splitter, use a splitter that is rated at 3.5 dBmv.
2. Connect the power adapter to the modem router and plug the power adapter into an
electrical outlet.
3. Press the Power On/Off button on the rear panel of the modem router.
The Power LED lights green.
You can log in to the modem router
to view or change its settings.
Cable Your Modem Router to a Router
If you want to cable the modem router to a router, you must log in to the modem router and
change its Router Mode setting. Selecting the No check box for Router Mode prevents
network conflicts. Problems can occur when two routers on the same network both attempt to
perform routing tasks such as Network Address Translation (NAT) and DHCP (assigning IP
addresses to devices on the network).

The login that your ISP gave you logs you in to your Internet service. Your
service provider gave you this login information in a letter or some other way. If you
cannot find this login information, contact your service provider.
• W
iFi 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
modem router label.
• Modem router login.This logs you in to the modem router interface from a web browser
as admin.
Log In to the Modem Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a
web browser to access the modem router to view or change its settings. The first time you
access the modem router, NETGEAR genie automatically checks to see if your modem
router can connect to your Internet service.
 To log in to the modem router:
