Setting Up Your Router for Internet Access
When configuring your wireless router manually, you must log in to your wireless router to set it 
up initially and to make any changes to your wireless router’s settings later.
To access your router:
Connect to the wireless router by typing http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your 
browser, and then press Enter.
1. A login window displays. For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. 
When prompted, enter admin for the router user name and password for the router password, 
both in lowercase letters. 
2. A greeting message displays reminding you to use the Firmware Upgrade periodically, and to 
take advantage of the Wireless-N feature of the router. Click the Close Window button.
The Router Upgrade screen will display, asking you to check for a new version of the 
firmware.
3. Click Check to check for new firmware (recommended). The router will automatically check 
the NETGEAR database for a new firmware image file. If no new firmware version is 
available, the message “No New Firmware Version Available” will display. (If you select 
“No,” you can check for new firmware later.
The factory default state is reset when you use the Restore Factory Settings button. 
See “Restoring the Default Password and Configuration Settings” on page 6-40 for 
more information.
Connect to the wireless router by typing any one of these three URLs in the address 
field of your browser, then pressing Enter:
• http://www.routerlogin.net 
• 
http://www.routerlogin.com 
• http://www.routerlogin.net
The router user name and password are not the same as any other user name or 
password you might use to log in to your Internet connection.
