Setup Instructions

Step 1: Power Off Modem

Unplug the power to turn off your modem.

Diagram shows a modem connected to a DSL or Cable line, with its power unplugged.

Step 2: Connect Modem to Router

Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable [ethernet-cable-symbol] to your modem, and the other end to the Internet port on the router.

Diagram illustrates connecting a yellow Ethernet cable from the modem's port to the router's Internet port.

Step 3: Power On Modem

Plug in and turn on your modem. Wait approximately 2 minutes until your modem turns on.

If your modem has a battery backup, first remove and reinsert the battery before connecting your modem to power.

Diagram shows the modem plugged in and powered on.

Step 4: Power On Router

Connect the power adapter to the router, then plug it into an outlet. Wait until the wireless LED turns solid green.

If none of the LEDs turn on, make sure that the Power On/Off button is in the ON position (pushed in).

Diagram shows the router connected to a power adapter and plugged into an outlet.

Step 5: Connect Router to Computer

Use another Ethernet cable to establish a wired connection between the router's LAN port and your computer.

Optionally, connect wirelessly by using the preset wireless security settings located on the bottom label of the router.

Preset Wireless Security

This product has a unique Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and network key (password). The default SSID and network key (password) are uniquely generated for every device (like a serial number), to protect and maximize your wireless security. This information is located on the label on the bottom of the product.

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do change the settings, the information on the bottom of the product does not apply.

Find the preset Wireless Settings on your router and record them here:

Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID): _______________________________

Network Key (Password): _________________________________

If you change the preset wireless settings, record it here:

Wireless Network Name (SSID): _______________________________

Network Key (Password): _____________________________________

If necessary to retrieve or update your password, type http://www.routerlogin.net in a Web browser and log in using the default user name (admin) and password (password). Select Wireless Settings to locate your wireless password.

Image shows the label on the bottom of the router with fields for SERIAL, MAC, 产品型号 (Product Model): N150 Wireless Router WNR1000 v2h2, 产品名称 (Product Name): 无线路由器 (Wireless Router), BLINK ACTIVITY, LAN speeds, Wireless On/Off, WPS, Power input, Reset button, and default access URL/credentials. It also shows fields to write down the Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and Network Key (Password).

Connect Wireless Devices to Your Router

Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to add wireless computers, and other devices to your wireless network.

Manual Method

  1. Open the software utility that manages your wireless connections on the wireless device that you want to connect to your router (iPhone, laptop, computer, gaming device). This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
  2. Look for the preset NETGEAR wireless network name (SSID), and select it. The preset Wi-Fi network name (SSID) is located on the product label on the bottom of the router.

    Note: If you changed the name of your network during the setup process, look for that network name.

  3. Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you changed it), and click Connect.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 to add other wireless devices.

WPS Method

If your wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)--NETGEAR calls this method Push 'N' Connect--you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the router instead of entering a password. If this happens:

  1. Press the WPS button [WPS-button] on the router.
  2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the client device, or follow the WPS instructions that came with your wireless device to complete the WPS process. The device will then be connected to your router.
  3. Repeat this process to add other WPS wireless devices.

Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a WEP client to your network using WPS, it will not work.

Troubleshooting

The browser cannot display the Web page.

  • Make sure that the PC is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, or wirelessly to the router.
  • Make sure that the router is fully up and running. Its wireless LED should turn on.
  • Close and re-open the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the previous page.
  • Browse to http://routerlogin.net.
  • If the PC is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
