If you do not see the login prompt:
1. Che
ck the LEDs on the router front panel to make sure that the modem router is
plugged into an electrical outlet, its power is on, and the Ethernet cable between your
computer and the router is connected to a LAN port.
2. If you co
nnected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the
router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN connection.
Relaunch your browser and try again.
3. If you are having trouble accessing the rou
ter wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends that
during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in to
the wireless modem router.
Note: If you cannot connect to the wireless router, check the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) properties in the Network Connections section of
your PC Control Panel. They should be set to obtain both IP and
DNS server addresses automatically.
