N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500
NETGEAR Genie Setup
NETGEAR Genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the router because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.
To use NETGEAR Genie to set up your router:
1.Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.
2.Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly (with the preset security settings listed on the bottom label) to your router.
3.Launch your Internet browser.
•If this is the first time you are setting up the Internet connection for your router, the browser automatically goes to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR Genie screen displays.
•If you already used the NETGEAR Genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR Genie screen. See Use NETGEAR Genie after Installation on page 16.
4.Follow the onscreen instructions to complete NETGEAR Genie setup. NETGEAR Genie guides you through connecting the router to the Internet.
If the browser cannot display the web page:
•Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, or wirelessly to the router.
•Make sure that the router is fully up and running. Its wireless LED should turn on.
•Close and
•Browse to http://routerlogin.net.
•If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
If the router does not connect to the Internet:
1.Review your settings to be sure that you have selected the correct options and typed everything correctly.
2.Contact your ISP to verify that you have the correct configuration information.
3.Read Chapter 10, Troubleshooting. If problems persist, register your NETGEAR product and contact NETGEAR technical support.
