Figure 6. Position the antennas

Position your router

The router lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your

WiFi network. However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can

vary signicantly depending on the physical placement of your router.

In addition, position your router according to the following guidelines:

•Place your router near the center of the area where your computers and other devices

operate, and within line of sight to your WiFi devices.

•Make sure that the router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet

cables for wired computers.

•Place the router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings

between the router and your other devices.

use a web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. When you access

the router, the software automatically checks to see if your router can connect to your

Internet service.

Automatic Internet setup

You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the

router and set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP

information and make sure that the computers and devices in the network are using

the settings described here.

When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you

all the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need

the following information to set up your router:

•The ISP conguration information for your DSL account

•ISP login name and password

•Fixed or static IP address setting (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)

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

connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your

computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router

automatically logs you in.

The NETGEAR installation assistant runs on any device with a web browser. Installation

and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.

To automatically set up your router:

1. Make sure that the router is powered on.

2. Make sure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the router with an

Ethernet cable (wired) or over WiFi with the preset security settings listed on the
