What You Need Before You Begin

Prepare the following before you set up your Product Family:

• Internet service.

• The configuration information your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gave you. Depending on

how your Internet account was set up, you might need one or more of these settings for the

wireless router to access the Internet:

— Host and domain names

— Internet login name and password (frequently an e-mail address and password)

— Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses

— Fixed or static IP address

Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.

If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.

• For cable modem service, use the computer you first used to set up your Internet service.

Updating Your Router Firmware

NETGEAR is always improving the operability and features included with your router. To make it

easy for you to receive the best, most up-to-date features of your router, NETGEAR provides a

variety of methods for updating your product.

• The Smart Wizard installation assistant lets you check for and install updates as part of the

setup activity.

• The router includes an update feature that lets you check for and install updates. You must be

logged in to the router to use this feature.

These options are discussed in “Accessing the Wireless Router after Installation and Checking for

New Firmware” on page 13.

Two Setup Methods: Smart Wizard Setup or Manual

Setup

You have two methods available for setting up your wireless router:

•Smart Wizard Setup.This option is the easiest. The wizard guides you through the setup

process, automates many of the steps, and verifies that necessary conditions exist and that

steps you perform have been successfully completed. This option requires a PC running

Microsoft Windows.

•Manual Setup. This option is best if you cannot use the wizard on the CD, are replacing an

existing wireless router, or are technically knowledgeable. Follow the instructions in this

manual to set up your wireless router.

Use the setup option that best suites you.

Smart Wizard Setup

The wizard setup process takes about 20 minutes to complete.

1. Insert the NETGEAR CD into a Windows PC. The CD automatically starts and detects the

language you are using on your PC. Accept the language option, or change to a different

language.

2. When the Welcome screen displays, click Setup to start the Smart Wizard. Follow the wizard

instructions.

If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click Autorun. Be

sure to double-click the Autorun file that begins with an upper-case A.
