Two Setup Methods: Smart Wizard Setup or Manual
Setup
You have two methods available for setting up your wireless router:
• Smart Wizard setup. This option is the easiest. The wizard guides you through the setup
process, automates many of the steps, and verifies that necessary conditions exist and that
steps you perform have been successfully completed. This option requires a PC running
Microsoft Windows.
• Manual setup. This option is best if you cannot use the wizard on the CD, are replacing an
existing wireless router, or are technically knowledgeable. Follow the instructions in this
manual to set up your wireless router.
Use the setup option that best suits you.

Smart Wizard Setup

The wizard setup process takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Insert the NETGEAR CD into a Windows PC. The CD automatically starts and detects the
1.
language that you are using on your PC. Accept the language option, or change to a different
language.
If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click Autorun. Be
sure to double-click the Autorun file that begins with an uppercase A.
