access the router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your
router can connect to your Internet service.

You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the
router and set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP
information and make sure that the computers and devices in your WiFi network use
the settings described here.
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 settings (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.
Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.
To automatically set up your router:
1.
Power on your router.
2.
Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the
router with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset WiFi security
settings listed on the label.
NOTE: If you want to change the router’s WiFi settings, use a wired
connection so that you won't be disconnected when the new WiFi settings
take effect.
3.
Launch a web browser.
