AC1450 Smart WiFi Router Use NETGEAR genie after Installation When you first set up your router, NETGEAR genie automatically starts when you launch an Internet browser on a computer that is connected to the router. If you want to view or change settings for the router, you can use genie again. 1. Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the router. 2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login window displays. 3. Enter admin for the router user name and password for the router password, both in lowercase letters. Note: The router user name and password are different from the user name and password for logging in to your Internet connection. For more information, see Types of Logins and Access on page 13. Upgrade the Firmware When you set up your router and connect to the Internet, the router automatically checks to see if newer firmware is available. If it is, a message is displayed on the top of the screen. To upgrade the firmware: 1. Click the message that tells you new firmware is available. During the firmware upgrade, you cannot access the Internet. 2. Click Yes to upgrade the router with the latest firmware. WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the router. After the upgrade, the router restarts. For more information, see Upgrade the Router Firmware on page 76. Getting Started 15
