Installing Your Wireless-N Gigabit Router - NETGEAR WNDR3700 - RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router Wireless Setup Manual

Installing Your Wireless-N Gigabit Router

To help you set up your router and get on the Internet quickly, the Resource CD contains a Smart
Wizard™. The Smart Wizard walks you through the steps required to connect your router and
PC(s); configure your internet settings; configure your wireless settings; and enable wireless
security for your network. When you have finished, you will be Internet ready!
If you have a Macintosh or Linux system, you need to use the manual installation
method (see
Linux Users)" on page
You can set up your wireless-N gigabit router using one of two methods:
• Smart Wizard Setup: The Smart Wizard setup is available on your Resource CD. See
"Installing Your Wireless Router Using Smart Wizard" on page 9
– This is the easiest option. The wizard guides you through the setup process. It automates
many of the steps and verifies that the steps have been successfully completed.
– Smart Wizard requires a PC running Microsoft Windows.
Before running the Smart Wizard on a corporate PC to set up your home
router, check with your company's network support staff. Corporate
network settings or Virtual Private Network (VPN) client software may
conflict with the default settings of a home router. If you are unsure about
whether there might be a conflict, use a different computer.
• Manual Setup: If you cannot or prefer not to use the Smart Wizard, see
Wireless Router Manually (Advanced, Mac, and Linux Users)" on page
you are connecting to a Mac, are using a Linux operating system, or are technically
knowledgeable, select this option. If you choose to use this option and install your router
manually, for best results, install and set up your router in this order:
1. Install and connect your wireless router to your network (see
N Gigabit Router" on page
2. Set up your wireless router for Internet access (see
Access" on page
3. Configure your wireless network and select wireless security settings to protect your
wireless network (see
page 19).
