Unplug your modem, remove and replace the backup battery if it uses one, and

then plug the modem back in. Use the Ethernet cable to connect the modem to

the yellow Internet port on the router.

Note: If your Internet connection does not require a modem, connect your

main Ethernet cable to the yellow Internet port on the router.

Connect the router to a power source. The router’s Power LED lights amber and

then turns white when the router is ready.

Make sure that the router’s WiFi LED is lit. Look on the router label for the

preassigned WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password).

Open the WiFi connection manager on your computer or other WiFi-enabled

device, find the router’s WiFi network name, and use the router’s password to

connect.

Launch a web browser. If the NETGEAR installation assistant does not display, visit

www.routerlogin.net. If a login window displays, enter admin for the user name

and password for the password.

Follow the onscreen instructions.

The Internet LED lights solid white when the router connects to the Internet.
