Getting to know your router
The N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 provides you with an easy and secure
way to set up a wireless home network with fast access to the Internet over a high-speed digital
subscriber line (DSL). It is compatible with all major DSL Internet service providers, lets you
block unsafe Internet content and applications, and protects the devices (PCs, gaming consoles,
and so on) that you connect to your home network.
If you have not already set up your new router using the installation guide that comes in the box,
this chapter walks you through the hardware setup.
Chapter 3, NETGEAR genie Basic Settings,
explains how to set up your Internet connection.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Unpack Your Router
• Position Your Router
• Hardware Features
