NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the

successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.

1. T
urn the router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.
2. Make sure tha
t your device is connected with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly (with
the preset security settings listed on the bottom label) to your router.
3. Lau
nch your Internet browser.
• If this is the
first time you are setting up the Internet connection for your router, the
browser automatically goes to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR genie
screen displays.
• If you already use
d the NETGEAR genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the
address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen. See Use
