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.
• The first time you set 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 Power LED and Wireless LED are lit.
• To make sure that the browser does not cache the previous page, close and reopen your
browser.
• 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.
3. Read Chapter 10,
contact NETGEAR technical support.
