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 Power On/Off button, if not done yet.

2.Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable 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 NETGEAR genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen. For more information, see Use NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 18.

4.Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the 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 be lit.

•Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the previous page.

•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 the router’s 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 9, Troubleshooting. If problems persist, register your NETGEAR product and contact NETGEAR technical support.
