5. USE THE SMART WIZARD TO CONFIGURE THE RANGE EXTENDER
a. From a wireless computer, open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape®
Navigator. Connect to the range extender by typing
http://192.168.0.101 in the address field of your browser, then click Enter.
For security reasons, the range extender has its own user name and password. When
prompted, enter admin for the user name and password for the password, both in lower
case letters. To change the password, see “Changing the Administrator Password” on page
6-7.
Note: The range extender’s user name and password are not the same as any user name or
password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.
b. The range extender automatically displays the NETGEAR Setup Wizard configuration
assistant the first time you connect in Router Mode, as shown below:

Note: If you do not see this page, click Setup Wizard in the main menu on the left.
If you cannot connect to the range extender, verify your computer networking setup. Your
wireless computer should be set to obtain both IP and DNS server addresses
automatically, which is usually so. For help with this, see Appendix C, “Preparing Your
Network” or the animated tutorials on the CD.
c. Click OK. Follow the prompts to proceed with the Smart Wizard configuration assistant to
connect to the Internet.
You are now connected to the Internet and the wireless feature of the range extender is
enabled!
