If you do not see the login prompt:
• Check the LEDs on the router front panel to make sure that the modem router i
s
plugged into an electrical outlet, its power is on, and the Ethernet cable between your
computer and the router is connected to a LAN port.
• If you connected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in
the router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN
connection. Relaunch your browser and try again.
• If you are having trouble accessing the router wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends that
during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log
in to the router.
