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. The first time you

access the router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your

router can connect to your Internet service.

Use the automatic Internet setup option

You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the

router and 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 use 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 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 settings (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.

Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.
