R6100 WiFi Router
Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie
menus and screens to set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get
your ISP information and make sure the computers and devices in the network have the
settings described here.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, change the settings so that it uses
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Gather ISP Information
If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your
router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. When your Internet service
starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed to
connect to the Internet. 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’s login program on
your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router
automatically logs you in.
•The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
•ISP login name and password
•Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this is rare)
Wireless Devices and Security Settings
Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2
wireless security, which is the wireless security that the router uses.
Login and Access
Separate types of logins have different purposes. It is important that you understand the
difference so that you know which login to use when.
•Router login logs you in to the router interface. For information about this login, see Use
NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 15.
•ISP login logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider has provided you with
this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login
information, contact your service provider.
•Wireless network key or password. Your router is preset with a unique wireless
network name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the label
on your router.

NETGEAR genie Setup
NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. Installation with basic setup takes
about 15 minutes to complete.
To use NETGEAR genie to set up your router:
1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Make sure that your computer or wireless device is connected to the router with an Ethernet
cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings listed on the bottom label.
3. Launch your Internet browser.
•The first time you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes to
http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR genie screen displays.
•If you already used the NETGEAR genie, type in the http://www.routerlogin.net
address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen. See Use
NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 15.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
NETGEAR genie guides you through connecting the router to the Internet.
If the browser cannot display the web page:
•Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports or
wirelessly to the router.
•Make sure that the router has full power, and that its WiFi LED is lit.
•To make sure that the browser does not cache the previous page, close and reopen the
browser.
•Browse to http://www.routerlogin.net.
•If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change it to
obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
If the router does not connect to the Internet:
1. Review your settings. Make sure that you have selected the correct options and typed
everything correctly.
2. Contact your ISP to verify that you have the correct configuration information.
3. Read Chapter 9, Troubleshooting. If problems persist, register your NETGEAR product and
contact NETGEAR technical support.

Use NETGEAR genie after Installation
When you first set up your router, NETGEAR genie automatically starts when you launch an
Internet browser on a computer that is connected to the router. If you want to view or change
settings for the router, you can use genie again.
1. Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the router.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net http://www.routerlogin.comor .
A login screen displays.
3. Enter admin for the router user name and password for the router password, both in
lowercase letters.
Note: The router user name and password are different from the user name
and password for logging in to your Internet connection. For more information,
see Login and Access on page 13.
Upgrade the Firmware
When you set up your router and are connected to the Internet, the router automatically
checks for you to see if newer firmware is available. If it is, a message is displayed on the top
of the screen. For more information, see Upgrade the Router Firmware on page 71.
Click the message when it shows up, and click the Yes button to upgrade the router with the
latest firmware. After the upgrade, the router restarts.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or
load a new page. Do not turn off the router.

Join Your Wireless Network
You can use the manual or the WPS method to join your wireless network. For instructions
about how to set up a guest network, see on page 28.Set Up a Guest Network
Manual Method
With the manual method, choose the network that you want and type its password to
connect.
To connect manually:
1. On your computer or wireless device, open the software that manages your wireless
connections.
This software scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for your network and select it.
The unique WiFi network name (SSID) and password are on the router label. If you
changed these settings, look for the network name that you used.
3. Enter the router password and click the Connect button.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you connect to a secure WiFi network without typing its
password. Instead, press a button or enter a PIN. NETGEAR calls WPS Push 'N' Connect.
Some older WiFi equipment is not compatible with WPS. WPS works only with WPA2 or WPA
wireless security.
To use WPS to join the wireless network:
1. Press the WPS button on the router front panel .
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password and connects you to the wireless network.

•Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your
network.
You can use this screen to view or change the wireless network settings and the security
option.
Wireless Network Settings
•Region. The location where the router is used. Select from the countries in the list. In the
United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable.
•Enable SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the router to broadcast its SSID so wireless
stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This check box
is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear this check box, and click the
Apply button.
•Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a
32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID
is randomly generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this
setting.
•Channel. The wireless channel the gateway uses. Enter a value from 1 through 13. (For
products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be operated.) Do
not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or
slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is
the best.
•When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing
between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6
and 11).
•Mode. Up to 300 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless
devices to join the network. The other settings are Up to 54 Mbps, and Up to 145 Mbps.
•Security Options. The router comes with unique preset wireless security. These settings
are on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use preset security so that you
can refer to the label if you forget the WiFi password. However, you can change the
security option and passphrase.
Wireless Security Options
A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The
security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices
receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption.
WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means
that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies
with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.

The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act
as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
•LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1
•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing
scheme, you can change these settings in the LAN Setup screen.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected
through the browser, you are disconnected. You will have to open a
new connection to the new IP address and log in again.

LAN TCP/IP Setup
•IP Address. The LAN IP address of the router.
•IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the
IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which
have to be reached through a gateway or router.
•RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
•RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, the
RIP function is disabled.
-RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an
unusual network setup.
-RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.

Use Router as DHCP Server
For most home networks, this check box is selected so that the router acts as a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
•Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
•Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
Role of the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns by setting the starting IP
address and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address
subnet as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range
between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range
for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•An IP address from the range you have defined
•Subnet mask
•Gateway IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)
•Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address)
•Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup
screen)
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or specify the network
settings of all of your computers.
To use disable the DHCP Server feature in the router:
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
2. Clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box.

3. Click the Apply button.
4. (Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network, set your
computer IP addresses manually so that the can access the router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
2. In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the Add button.
3. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.
4. Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip: If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
5. Click the Apply button.
The reserved address is entered into the table.
The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the router’s
DHCP server. Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release
and renew.

Block Services (Port Filtering)
Services are functions that server computers perform at the request of client computers. For
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and
game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a
request for service to a server, a service or port number identifies the requested service. This
number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a
packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web server) request.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/) has defined the service
number for many common protocols, which are published in . RFC1700, Assigned Numbers
Application developers typically choose service numbers for other applications in the range
1024 – 65535. Although the router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are
not limited to these choices. You can often determine port number information by contacting
the publisher of the application, by asking user groups or newsgroups, or by searching.
The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet services by computers on
your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for blocking,
first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses.
To block services:
1. Select ADVANCED > Security > Block Services.
2. Select either the Per Schedule button or the Always button.
3. If you selected Per Schedule, specify a time period in the Schedule screen.
4. Click the Add button to add a service.

2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port
number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then
sends this request message to your router.
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port,
and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.
4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667,
your router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your
computer.
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port
(for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an “identify”
message to your router with destination port 113.
6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your router checks its
session table for an active session for port number 33333. Finding an active session, the
router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply
message to your computer.
7. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 113, your router checks its session
table and finds an active session for port 113, associated with your computer. The router
replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address and
forwards the message to your computer.
8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the
communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table,
and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.
To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the
inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the
application or the relevant user groups or news groups.
Only one computer at a time can use the triggered application.
Port Forwarding to Permit External Host
Communications
In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a
server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the
Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router
ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can
configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.
A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server
relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer’s
browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using
port forwarding, you can tell the router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the
standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at
Security
64
R6100 WiFi Router
Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers
The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on
your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or
game server visible and available to the Internet.
Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen to configure the router to forward specific
incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific
applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols
are forwarded.
Before you start, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide,
and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server computer
has to always have the same IP address.
To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP
address feature of your product. See on page 38.Address Reservation
To forward specific incoming protocols:
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
2. Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.
3. In the Service Name list, select the service name.
If the service does not appear in the list, see on page 64.Add a Custom Service
4. Fill in the Server IP Address field.
5. Click the Add button.
The service appears in the list on the Port Forwarding screen.
Add a Custom Service
To define a service, game, or application that does not appear in the Service Name list, first
determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses. You can usually
determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or
news groups. When you have the port number information, follow these steps.
To add a custom service:
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
Security
66
R6100 WiFi Router
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to
use the name.
To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user has to know the IP address
that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can
reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.
Set Up Port Triggering
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not
simultaneously).
•An application needs to open incoming ports that are dif ferent from the outgoing port.
When port triggering is enabled, the router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified
outbound “trigger” port. When the router detects outbound traffic on that port, it remembers
the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The router then temporarily opens the
specified incoming port or ports and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the
triggering computer.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer.
Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close
the ports when they are no longer needed.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),
you should also enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).
To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs,
and the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You
can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user
groups or news groups.
To enable port triggering:
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
2. Select the Port Triggering radio button.
3. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box.
Security
67
R6100 WiFi Router
If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you configure port triggering,
port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering configuration information that you
specified is saved even though it is not used.
4. In the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.
This value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound
ports close when the inactivity time expires. This is required because the router cannot be
sure when the application has terminated.
To add a port triggering service:
1. On the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, click the Add Service button.
2. In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name.
3. In the Service User list, select Any, or select Single address and enter the IP address of
one computer.
•Any (the default), allows any computer on the Internet to use this service.
•Single address restricts the service to a particular computer.
4. Select the service type, either TCP or or UDP TCP/UDP (both). If you are not sure, select
TCP/UDP.
5. In the Triggering Port field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that will cause the
inbound ports to be opened.
6. Enter the inbound connection port information in the Connection Type, Starting Port, and
Ending Port fields.
7. Click the Apply button.
The service appears in the Port Triggering Portmap Table.
8. Make sure that you enable port triggering so that the service that you added will be used.

Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),
you should enable UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP.
The UPnP screen displays.
2. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.
By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be
enabled or disabled. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not allow
any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of
the router.
3. Type the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the router broadcasts its UPnP information.
This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter
durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of more
network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status, but
can significantly reduce network traffic.
4. Type the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should
be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.
5. Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing
the router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP
Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active
for each IP address.

address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.
•Router’s IPv6 Address on LAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix,
which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is
acquired, the field displays Not Available.
3. (Optional) In the DHCP User Class (If Required) field, enter a host name.
Most people do not need to fill in this field, but if your ISP has given you a specific host
name, enter it here.
4. (Optional) In the Domain Name (If Required) field, enter a domain name.
You can type the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. (Do not enter the domain name for the
IPv4 ISP here.) For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type
xxx.yyy.zzz as the domain name. If your ISP provided a domain name, type it in this field.
(For example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast
sometimes supplies a domain name.)
5. Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the
LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
Advanced Settings
103
R6100 WiFi Router
This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your main
mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, you would type JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (like
Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require that you use your full email address when you
log in. If your ISP requires your full email address, type it in this field.
4. In the Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
5. In the Service Name name field, enter a service name.
If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.
Note: The default setting of the Connection Mode field is Always on to provide
a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the connection. If the
connection is terminated, for example, when the modem is turned off, the router
attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the PPPoE
connection becomes available again.
6. Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the
LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
•Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
•Auto Config. The default setting.
7. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box, and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
8. Click the Apply button.
Troubleshooting
108
R6100 WiFi Router
Troubleshoot with the LEDs
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power/T est LED is lit.
2. Verify that the Power/Test LED turns amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test
is running.
3. After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:
•The Power/Test LED is solid green.
•The Internet LED is lit.
•A numbered Ethernet port LED is lit for any local port that is connected to a computer.
A link has been established to the connected device.
The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting.
Power LED Is Off or Blinking
•Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power
adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet.
•Check that you are using the 12 VDC, 5A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this
product.
•If the Power/Test LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted.
This can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem
with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery
instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at
www.netgear.com/support.
Power LED Stays Amber
When the router is turned on, the Power LED turns amber for about 20 seconds and then
turns green. If the LED does not turn green, the router has a problem.
If the Power LED is still amber one minute after you turned on power to the router:
1. Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers.
2. Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings.
See Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility on page .113
