Figure 3-5: Router welcome screen
In its factory default state, the wireless router will automatically display the NETGEAR
Smart Wizard configuration assistant welcome page.
Note: If you do not see this page, clear the browser cache by going to the Internet Explorer
Tools menu, Internet Options, and clicking Delete Files, then selecting the Delete all
offline files check box and clicking OK.
If you still do not connect, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the browser address bar and
click Enter. Otherwise, to bypass this screen, see “How to Bypass the Configuration
Assistant” on page 3-11 and the “How to Manually Configure Your Internet Connection”
on page 3-11 topics in this chapter.
If you cannot connect to the wireless router, verify your computer networking setup. It
should be set to obtain both IP and DNS server addresses automatically, which is usually
so. For help with this, see Appendix B, “Preparing Your Network” or the animated
tutorials on the CD.
b. Click OK. Follow the prompts to proceed with the Smart Wizard configuration assistant to
connect to the Internet.
c. Follow the instructions on the screen to enable the wireless feature.
d. Enable your wireless network, click Next to proceed, then click Done to finish. If you
have trouble connecting to the Internet, see “Troubleshooting Tips” on page 3-7 to correct
basic problems.
