Nighthawk WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router Model RS200, Model RS150v1
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. When
your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the
information needed to connect to the Internet. For example, 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.
NOTE: If your Internet service is going through your TV or fiber cable, you might
not need the login information.
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.
The NETGEAR installation assistant runs on any device with a web browser. Installation
and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.
To automatically set up your router:
1. Make sure that the router is powered on.
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 page that displays depends on whether you accessed the router before:
• The first time you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes
to http://www.routerlogin.net and the Configuring the Internet Connection
page displays.
• If you already set up the Internet connection, enter http://www.routerlogin.net
in the address field for your browser to start the installation process.
The page that displays recommends that you use the Nighthawk app. However, the
current procedure describes how you can use the router web interface.
4. If the installation process does not start and the browser does not display the page
that recommends that you use the Nighthawk app, do the following:
Connect to the Router Network
and Access the Router
