Specify the Access Point/Router
Internet Settings Manually
Usually, the quickest way to set up the Internet connection is to allow the NETGEAR
installation assistant to detect the Internet connection when you first set up and access
the access point/router with a web browser. After initial setup, you can use the Setup
Wizard at any time.
If the access point/router is in access point mode, you can specify the LAN IP settings
manually.
If the access point/router is in router mode, you can specify the WAN (Internet) settings
manually, including IPv6 settings. For information about changing the LAN settings if
the access point/router is in router mode, see Router mode: Manage the LAN IP address
settings on page 112.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Use the Internet Setup Wizard
