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 on the router by pressing the On/Off button.
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 the NETGEAR genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the
address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen. See
NETGEAR genie after Installation
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 up and running. Its Wireless LEDs should turn on.
•
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 your settings to be sure that you selected the correct options and typed
everything correctly.
2.
Contact your ISP to verify that you have the correct configuration information.
