How to setup Synology router with Netgear dm-200 modem -

1. First of all, you have to install Synology router's antennas. For this, point the antenna at the antenna base and turn it clockwise until it is secured properly. Although it is recommended by experts to tilt the antenna at 90 degrees so that you can enjoy optimal WiFi performance.

2.To avoid physical interruptions, place Synology router on the flat surface. Also place your router away from potential electrical signal sources and within a visible distance from all the connected wireless devices.

3.Now, take a network cable and connect your Synology router to Netgear modem (in WAN1 port). Take another network cable for connecting other wired devices to your Synology router, just use the LAN-1 ports.

4.In next step, you have to connect one end of the power adapter to Synology router’s power port. After this, connect another end of the power adapter to the power outlet. Wait for a couple of minutes until the Status LED and WAN LED turn into solid green.

5.Now, you can connect wired and wireless devices to Synology router.

Wired devices – Take a network cable and connect for connecting all devices in a wired connection. When the connection gets established, LAN LED will turn into solid green.

Wireless devices – When Synology router’s 2.4G/5G LED indicators will turn into solid green, you should understand that device is ready to establish a connection. Now, just scan the WiFi network and connect to Synology router.
