6 Getting to Know Your Wireless Router
v1.0, July 2008
Two Setup Methods: Smart Wizard Setup or Manual
Setup
You have two methods available for setting up your router:
• Smart Wizard setup. This option is the easiest. The wizard guides you through the setup
process, automates many of the steps, and verifies that necessary conditions exist and that
steps you perform have been successfully completed. This option requires a PC running
Microsoft Windows.
• Manual setup. This option is best if you cannot use the wizard on the CD, are replacing an
existing router, or are technically knowledgeable. Follow the instructions in this manual to set
up your router.
Use the setup option that best suits you.
Smart Wizard Setup
The wizard setup process takes about 20 minutes to complete.
1. Insert the NETGEAR CD into a Windows PC. The CD automatically starts and detects the
language that you are using on your PC. Accept the language option, or change to a different
language.
2. When the Welcome screen displays, click Setup to start the Smart Wizard. Follow the wizard
instructions.
At the close of installation, the Smart Wizard places a Router_Setup.html file on your
computer’s desktop so that you can view the router settings. It also places the Router Login
shortcut on the desktop for you to access the router’s main menu.
If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click on .
