Prior to you start with the setup and installation process of your smart Netgear WiFi router, get your ISP information first and make sure that the computers, laptops, and other WiFi-enabled devices in the network have the settings described in here.

In case you failed to locate this information, ask your Internet Service Provider to provide it as soon as possible. When your WiFi connection is working fine, you will never need to launch the ISP login program on your computer or laptop to gain access on the Internet. As soon as you start an up-to-date internet application, your Netgear router logs you in automatically without any issue.

The web user interface of Netgear easily runs on any device (wired or wireless) with an up-to-date and relevant web browser. Installation and basic setup of your Netgear wireless router take about 25-30 minutes to complete.

In order to use the Netgear web user interface to set up and install your router:

• Turn on your Netgear wireless device by simply pushing the on/off (power) button.
• Make sure that your laptop or desktop or any wireless device is physically and properly connected to the Netgear router with an Ethernet cable.
