Using the Setup Manual
For first-time installation of your wireless router, refer to the NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup
Manual. The Setup Manual explains how to launch the NETGEAR Smart Wizard on the Resource
CD to step you through the procedure to connect your router, modem, and computers. The Smart
Wizard will assist you in configuring your wireless settings and enabling wireless security for your
network. After initial configuration using the Setup Manual, you can use the information in this
User Manual to configure additional features of your wireless router.
For installation instructions in a language other than English, refer to the language options on the
Resource CD.
Note: NETGEAR recommends using the Smart Wizard™ on the Resource CD for initial
configuration, as described in the NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual.
