Use a Web Browser to Access the Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a web browser to access
the router to view or change its settings. When you access the router, the software automatically checks to see if
your router can connect to your Internet service.
Log In to the Router
When you first connect to your router and launch a web browser, the browser automatically displays the router's
web page. If you want to view or change settings for the router later, you can use a browser to log in to the router's
web page.
To log in to the router:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
Note
You can also enter http://www.routerlogin.com or http://192.168.1.1. The procedures in
this manual use http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
Automatic Internet Setup
You can let the NETGEAR installation assistant set up your router automatically, or you can set up your router
manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the computers and
devices in the network are using the settings described here. If you are installing a new router on a network that
already includes a router, see
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed
to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set up your router:
•
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
•
ISP login name and password
•
Fixed or static IP address setting (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no
longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet
application, your router automatically logs you in.
