NETGEAR genie Setup
NETGEAR genie runs on any computer or 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 product label) to your router.
3.
Launch your Internet browser in one of the following ways:
•
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

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, do the following:
•
Make sure that the computer is connected to the LAN Ethernet port or wirelessly to
the router.
•
Make sure that the router is running. If it is, its Wireless LEDs are lit.
•
Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the
previous page.

Browse to
http://routerlogin.net

If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this situation is uncommon),
change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.

a.
To be sure that you have selected the correct options and typed everything correctly,
