Getting to Know Your Wireless Router
Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR® high-speed wireless router, the N150
Wireless Router Model WGR614v11.
Before you begin installing your router, check the package contents (see “Unpacking Your New
Router” on page 1). Become familiar with the front and back panels of your router—especially the
status lights—and the important information on the router label (see “Hardware Features” on
page 2). Then, read the section on “Positioning Your Wireless Router” on page 5 to ensure that
you have selected the best location to install your router.
Unpacking Your New Router
Your product package should contain the following items:
• The N150 Wireless Router
• An AC power adapter (varies by region)
• A yellow Ethernet cable
•NETGEAR Installation Guide
• The Resource CD, which includes:
– The Smart Wizard Installation Assistant (Autorun.exe)
– A PDF version of this manual
– A link to the online User Manual
If any of the parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, contact your NETGEAR dealer. Keep the
carton, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the product for repair.
A link to the online User Manual is also available from the router interface,
after the router is installed. Click Documentation on the main menu.
Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 2
To prepare your router for installation:
1. Carefully peel off any protective film covering the sides of your router.
2. Place your router in a suitable area for installation (near an AC power outlet and accessible to
the Ethernet cables for your wired computers).
Hardware Features
Before you install and connect your router, take a moment to become familiar with the front and
back panels of the router—especially the status lights on the front panel.
Front Panel
The router front panel, shown in Figure 1, contains status lights. (For more information on
interpreting the status lights, see “Verifying Your Connection” on page 15 and “Checking Basic

Router Label
The label on the bottom of the wireless router shows the router’s MAC address, serial number,
security PIN, and factory default login information.
The ports on the router are color-coded to distinguish your Internet port from the other four ports
that connect to the wired computer(s) on your Local Area Network (LAN).
Positioning Your Wireless Router
The wireless router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless
connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For
example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal must pass through might limit the
range. For best results, place your router:
Figure 4
Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 6
• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices will operate, preferably
within line of sight to your wireless devices.
• Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings between
the wireless router and your other devices to a minimum.
• Away from electrical devices which are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling fans,
home security systems, microwaves, or the base for a cordless phone.
• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
Installing Your Wireless Router
To help you set up your router and get on the Internet quickly, the Resource CD contains a Smart
Wizard™ Installation Assistant. The Installation Assistant walks you through the steps required to
connect your router, modem, and PC(s); configure your wireless settings; and enable wireless
security for your network. When you have finished, you will be Internet ready!
You can set up your wireless router using one of two methods:
•Smart Wizard Setup: The Smart Wizard Installation Assistant setup is available on your
Resource CD. See “Installing Your Router Using the Smart Wizard” on page 8 to use the
Smart Wizard Installation Assistant.
– This is the easiest option. The wizard guides you through the setup process. It automates
many of the steps and verifies that the steps have been successfully completed.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation
or an inability to wirelessly connect to the Internet.
NETGEAR does not recommend or support adding a NETGEAR router behind
another router, or replacing a gateway with a NETGEAR router.
If you have a Linux system, you need to use the manual installation method (see
“Manually Installing Your Router” on page 11).
