Step 1. Connect to an Internet modem.
1. Unplug the modem’s power, leaving the modem connected to the wall jack
for your Internet service.
If the modem uses a battery backup, remove the battery.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the modem to the yellow Internet WAN
port on the router.
Note: Instead of a modem, you can also use an existing LAN that provides
Internet connectivity. In that case, connect the cable from the LAN to the yellow
Internet WAN port on the router. For more information, see the user manual, which
you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
Step 2. Connect to power.
1. Plug in and turn on the modem.
If the modem uses a battery backup, put the battery back in before you turn
on the modem.
2. Connect the router to power.
After you connect the router to power, the Power LED
on the front panel
rst blinks green and then lights solid green.
If the Power LED does not light at all, press the Power On/Off button.

Step 3. Congure the Internet connection.
1. Locate your Internet service provider (ISP) conguration information.
2. Congure a computer to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP.
3. Connect the computer with an Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the router.
You can use LAN port 1, 2, 3, or 4. The computer receives an IP address from
the router.
If you congure a WiFi access point and connect it to a LAN port on the
router, you can also use a WiFi connection to the router. (The router itself
does not provide WiFi capacity.) For more information, see the user manual.
4. From the computer, launch a web browser and enter
http://www.routerlogin.net in the address eld.
5. When prompted, enter admin for the user name and password for the
password.
The Setup Wizard starts.
6. Follow the steps in the Setup Wizard to connect to the Internet.
The Setup Wizard searches your Internet connection for servers and
protocols to determine your Internet conguration.
Note: For information about manually setting up your Internet connection,
see the user manual.
When the router connects to the Internet, the Internet WAN LED
on the
front panel lights solid green.
The router is now connected to the Internet and can function as a regular router.
If you want to manage and monitor the router in an Insight managed network,
continue with Step 4.
Step 4. Add the router to an Insight network.
The NETGEAR Insight app lets you use your mobile device to discover, congure,
manage, and monitor the router. You can use this app to access the router with
a local WiFi connection or a mobile connection, or, as an Insight Premium or
Insight Pro subscriber, you can log in to the Insight Cloud Portal. The Cloud
Portal lets you congure, manage, and monitor the router from your Windows-
based computer, Mac, or tablet for a larger-screen experience.
