cable between the computer and the LAN port on the access point/router. (Do
not connect your computer to the yellow Internet port on the access point/router.)
-
Connect over WiFi. If you are using a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device,
check the WiFi connection between the computer or device and the access
point/router. The access point/router's default SSID is NETGEAR-1 and the default
passphrase is sharedsecret.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information.
If the access point/router is connected to the Internet, make sure that you log in with
your NETGEAR account.
If the access point/router is not connected to the Internet, use the local login user
name (admin) and your customized local login password, also referred to as the
admin password. When you used the Smart Setup Wizard for the initial log-in process
on the access point/router, you customized the local login password. (By default,
the local login password is password.) The user name and password are
case-sensitive. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.
• Make sure that you log in using http://www.routerlogin.net (which, in router mode,
is the same as 192.168.0.100).
• Make sure that the IP address of your computer or mobile device is on the same
subnet as the LAN subnet of the access point/router. If you are using the default
addressing scheme, your device's address is in the range of 192.168.0.2 to
192.168.0.254. Most computers and mobile devices function as DHCP clients. If your
computer or mobile device does not, enable its DHCP client so that is can obtain an
IP address automatically using DHCP.
Note: Some versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address
if a device 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 device to the access point/router and reboot your device.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Clear your browsing data.
• Make sure that Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX is enabled in your browser. If you are
using Internet Explorer, click the Refresh button to be sure that the Java applet is
loaded.
