To automatically set up your router:
1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Make sure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the router with an
Ethernet cable (wired) or over WiFi with the preset security settings listed on the
label.
Note: If you want to change the router's WiFi settings, use a wired connection to
avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
3. Launch a web browser.
The browser goes to http://www.routerlogin.net and the NETGEAR installation
assistant displays.
4. If the browser does not display the NETGEAR installation assistant, enter
http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
The router connects to the Internet.
6. If the browser does not display the installation assistant page, do the following:
• Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports
or over WiFi to the router.
• Make sure that the router is receiving power and that its Power LED is lit.
• Close and reopen the browser or clear the browser cache.
• Browse to http://www.routerlogin.net.
• If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this setting is uncommon),
change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.

a. Review your settings.
Make sure that you selected the correct options and typed everything correctly.
