Connect to the Network and Access the Router
18
Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router
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 configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (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. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Make sure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the router with an Ethernet
cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings listed on the label.
Note: If you want to change the router’s WiFi setting, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
3. Launch a web browser.
The browser goes to http://www.routerlogin.net and the NETGEAR installation
assistant displays.
4. If the browser does not display the NETGEAR installation assistant, enter
http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
The NETGEAR installation assistant guides you through connecting the router to the
Internet.
6. If the browser cannot display the web page, do the following:
• 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 Power LED is lit white.
• Close and reopen the browser or clear the browser cache.
• Browse to http://www.routerlogin.net.
• If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this setting is uncommon),
change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
7. If the router does not connect to the Internet, do the following:
a. Review your settings. Make sure that you selected the correct options and typed
everything correctly.
