NETGEAR R7500

When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information
needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set up
your router:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address setting (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it.When your Internet connection is working,
you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you
start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in.
NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. Installation and basic setup takes about
15 minutes to complete.
To automatically set up your router:
1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Make sure that your computer or wireless device is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable
(wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings listed on the label.
If you want to change the router’s WiFi settings, use a wired connection to avoid
being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
Note
3. Launch a web browser.
The page that displays depends on whether you accessed the router before:
•
The first time you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes to
http://www.routerlogin.net and the Configuring the Internet Connection page displays.
•
If you already set up the Internet connection, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field
for your browser to start the installation process.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
The router connects to the Internet.
5. If the browser does not display the NETGEAR genie page, do the following:
