Position Your Gateway
The gateway lets you access your network 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 gateway. For example, the
thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might affect your
gateway’
and any other device that emits a wireless signal for network access.
Position your gateway according to the following guidelines:
•Place your gateway near the center of the area where your computers and other devices
•Make sure that the gateway is within reach of an

VDSL Voice Gateway
Connect to the Network
You can connect to the gateway’s network through a wired or WiFi connection. If you set up
your computer to use a static IP address, change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Wired Connection
You can connect your computer to the gateway using an Ethernet cable and join the
gateway’s local area network (LAN).
To connect your computer to the gateway with an Ethernet cable:
1. Make sure that the gateway has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your computer.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports on the
rear panel of the gateway.
Your computer connects to the local area network (LAN). A message might display on
your computer screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is connected.
WiFi Connection
Y ou can connect to the gateway’ s WiFi network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or you can
find and select the WiFi network.
To use WPS to connect to the WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the gateway has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or wireless device.
3. Press the WPS button on the gateway.
4. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its WPS button or follow its
instructions for WPS connections.
Your computer or wireless device connects to the WiFi network.
To find and select the WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the gateway has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. On your computer or wireless device, find and select the WiFi network.
The WiFi network name is on the product label.
3. Join the WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
The password is on the product label.
Your wireless device connects to the WiFi network.

Types of Logins
Separate types of logins have different purposes. It is important that you understand the
difference so that you know which login to use when.
These types of logins are associated with the gateway:
•Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider gave you logs you in
to your Internet service. Your service provider gave you this login information in a letter or
some other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your service provider.
•WiFi network key or password. Your gateway is preset with a unique wireless network
name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the gateway label.
•Gateway login.This logs you in to the gateway interface from a web browser as admin.
Log In to the Gateway
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a
web browser to access the gateway to view or change its settings. The first time you access
the gateway, NETGEAR genie automatically checks to see if your gateway can connect to
your Internet service. The next time you access the gateway with a browser, you are
prompted to log in.
To log in to the gateway:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://routerlogin.net or http://10.0.0.2.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the gateway user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is admin. The user name and password
are case-sensitive.

Usually , the quickest way to set up the router to use your Internet connection is to allow the genie
to detect the Internet connection when you first access the router with a web browser. You can
also customize or specify your Internet settings.
