Installing Your Wireless
Router Using Smart
Wizard
Prepare the following before you set up your Product Family:
• Internet service.
• The configuration information your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gave you. Depending on
how your Internet account was set up, you might need one or more of these settings for the
wireless router to access the Internet:
– Host and domain names
– Internet login name and password (frequently an e-mail address and password)
– Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
– Fixed or static IP address
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.
If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
• For cable modem service, use the computer you first used to set up your Internet service.
The NETGEAR Smart Wizard takes you through the procedure to connect your router and PC(s).
It then helps you to configure your wireless settings and enable wireless security for your network.
The Smart Wizard guides you through the setup process by automating many of the steps. At each
step in the setup process, the Smart Wizard checks to ensure that the steps you perform are
successfully completed.
The wizard set up process takes about 20 minutes to complete.
To install your router using the Smart Wizard:
1.
Insert the Resource CD into your Windows PC. The CD automatically starts and detects the
language that you are using on your PC. Accept the language option, or change to a different
language.
