Log in to the router to view or change settings or to set up the router.
1. In your browser address field, type http://www.routerlogin.net and click Enter.
2. When prompted, enter admin for the router user name and password for the router
password, both in lowercase letters.
Note: The router user name and password are probably different from the user
name and password for logging in to your Internet connection. See Types of
Logins on page 28 for more information.
The router menus display where you can do things like change settings or add other
devices to your network. See Router Interface on page 21 for a brief description of the
available functionality, and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method on page 32 or
information about adding devices to your network.
If you do not see the login prompt:
• Check the LEDs on the router front panel to make sure that the modem router i
s
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.
• If you connected 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.
• If you are having trouble accessing the router wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends that
during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log
in to the router.
