N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4000 User Manual

Log In to the Router

Log in to the wireless router to view or change settings or to set up the wireless router.

1.Type wwww.routerlogin.net in the address field of your browser and press Enter to display the login window.

2.Enter admin for the user name and password for the password, both in lowercase letters.

Note: The wireless router user name and password are probably different from the user name and password for logging in to your Internet connection. See Types of Logins on page 24 for more information.

The wireless router screen displays as described in Router Interface on page 18.

If you do not see the login prompt:

1.Check the LEDs on the wireless router front panel to make sure that the wireless router is plugged into an electrical outlet, its power is on, and the Ethernet cable between your computer and the wireless router is connected to a LAN port.

2.If you connected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the wireless router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN connection. Relaunch your browser and try again.

3.If you are having trouble accessing the wireless router wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends that during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in to the wireless router.

4.If you cannot connect to the wireless router, check the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties in the Network Connections section of your PC Control Panel. They should be set to obtain both IP and DNS server addresses automatically. See your computer documentation.
