Please contact NETGEAR's PR team if any of these pieces are missing.
The first step in setting up the CENTRIA is finding an appropriate location. For best results, NETGEAR
recommends placing the router:

Near the center of the area where computers and other wireless devices will operate.

Within easy reach of an AC power outlet, as well as the Ethernet cable that provides Internet
access – such as a home cable or DSL modem, or an office network.

At an elevated location, such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceiling between
the router and wireless devices to a minimum.

Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete
can also affect the wireless signal.
The second step is connecting the CENTRIA to the Ethernet cable that provides Internet access and then
to AC power. Make sure the CENTRIA is turned on – the power button is found on the back of the router,
at the bottom.
The third step is connecting your PC, smartphone or tablet to the CENTRIA. As noted above, setting up
the CENTRIA is quick and easy. The set up process can be managed from any wired or wireless device on
the network that runs a web browser, including PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets.

To use a wired connection, simply connect the Ethernet cable from the CENTRIA to your
computer.

To use a wireless connection, connect to the CENTRIA's default WiFi network. The WiFi network
name (SSID) and network key (password) are shown on the router's label.
The fourth step is configuring the CENTRIA.
1. Open a web browser on any device connected to the router. The browser is hijacked to the
installation page. Please follow the installation steps.
2. If the browser is not hijacked, check connection to the router or alternatively login directly to
the router by going to http://routerlogin.net.
3. Enter the user name admin and the default password (the word password). You'll then see the
home screen, from which you can customize the CENTRIA's wireless networks and advanced
features.
