The first time that you connect to the router, the genie page
displays. Follow the genie steps to connect to the Internet.

• Make sure that your computer is connected to one of the
Ethernet ports on the router, or that you are connected to
your router's WiFi network.

If you still do not see the genie page, log in to the router so that
genie can detect your Internet connection.
