NETGEAR genie Setup
NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the
WiFi modem 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 WiFi modem router:
1. Turn the WiFi modem router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.
2. Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable to your WiFi modem router.
3. Launch your Internet browser.
• If this is the first time you are setting up the Internet connection for your WiFi modem
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
Use
NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 25.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete NETGEAR genie setup. NETGEAR genie
guides you through connecting the WiFi modem router to the Internet.
If the browser cannot display the web page:
• Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports,
or wirelessly to the WiFi modem router.
• Make sure that the WiFi modem router is ready. Its Wireless LEDs should light.
• Close and reopen the browser to make sure the browser does not cache the previous
page.
• Browse to http://routerlogin.net.
• If your computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change the
setting to obtain an IP address automatically from the WiFi modem router.
If the WiFi modem router does not connect to the Internet:
1. Review your settings to be sure that you have 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, Troubleshooting. If problems persist, register your NETGEAR product and
contact NETGEAR technical support.
