To specify WPS settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
The Router's PIN field displays the fixed PIN that you can use to configure the router's
WiFi settings from another device through WPS.
5. (Optional) Select or clear the Enable Router's PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious
attempts to break into the router's WiFi settings by using the router's PIN through
WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by selecting the Enable Router's
PIN check box.
6. (Optional) Select or clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. We
recommend that you leave this check box selected.
If you clear this check box, the next time a new WiFi client uses WPS to connect to
the router, the router WiFi settings change to an automatically generated random
SSID and security key.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Set up the router as a WiFi access point
You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router.

Questions and answers
I have internet signal to Modem and all lights on router show strong signal, but cannot connect to the internet on my home networks. Help!
If you have a strong signal but cannot connect to the internet with your NETGEAR Nighthawk R7450 router, the issue may be one of the following:
1. Router Did Not Obtain an IP Address
- Check if your router has received an IP address from your ISP.
- Log in to the router’s admin page at `http://www.routerlogin.net`, go to the ADVANCED tab, and check the Internet port IP address.
- If it shows `0.0.0.0`, restart your modem and router to force recognition.
2. ISP Requires a Login
- Some ISPs require a login using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or another method.
- Verify your ISP’s login credentials and enter them correctly in the router’s Internet Setup page.
3. Incorrect ISP Settings
- Ensure the hostname assigned by your ISP matches the one set in the router.
- If your ISP allows only a specific MAC address, you may need to inform them of your new router or configure MAC address cloning in the router settings.
4. DNS Issues
- If the router has an IP address but no internet access, check the DNS server settings.
- Restart your computer and verify that the DNS settings are correct.
5. Gateway Configuration
- Ensure the router is set as the TCP/IP gateway on your computer.
Try these steps to resolve the issue and restore internet connectivity.
