NETGEAR Genie Setup

NETGEAR Genie runs on any device with a Web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the
router because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been
successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.

To use NETGEAR Genie to set up your router:
Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.
1.
Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly (with
2.
the preset security settings listed on the bottom label) to your router.
Launch your Internet browser.

•
browser automatically goes to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR Genie
screen displays.
If you already used the NETGEAR Genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the
•
address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR Genie screen. See
