Before You Begin
You can connect directly to a DSL line or to a cable/fiber modem.
Note: If you are connecting to a DSL line, make sure that your DSL
service is active before you install the modem router. You need the
information listed here to install your DSL modem and connect to the
Internet. Locate it and have it on hand before you start the installation
procedure.
•DSL user name and password. These are included in the
welcome letter your DSL ISP sent you when you signed up for
your service. Record your DSL Internet service account user
name and password here:
User name:
Password:
•Your telephone number or DSL account number. If you do not
have voice service, you can use your DSL account number in
place of a phone number.
If you do not know or cannot locate your user name and
password, call your DSL Internet service provider.
Be specific when speaking with your DSL Internet service
provider. For example, you could say:
I need my DSL service user name and password. Can you help
me?
Note: If your provider says that they do not support NETGEAR
devices, tell them you need only your DSL user name and
password; you do not need support.

Install Your Modem Router
Note: Keep your modem router in a vertical position.
To install your modem router:
1. Connect to the Internet with ADSL or Ethernet WAN.
You can connect either directly to a DSL line or to a cable/fiber
modem.
a. Connect to ADSL (if connecting directly to a DSL line).
1
Internet
•Install an ADSL microfilter between the phone line and the
phone. A microfilter filters DSL interference out of
standard phone equipment that shares the line with the
DSL service. Example devices are telephones, fax
machines, answering machines, and caller ID displays.
•Connect the ADSL port of the modem router to the ADSL
port of the microfilter.

4
Note: Use an ADSL microfilter for every phone line in the
house if your modem router and telephone connect to the
same phone line.
b. Connect to cable or fiber (if connecting to a cable/fiber
modem).

green.
4. Open a browser.
The NETGEAR genie installation wizard displays.

and enter http://routerlogin.net in the address bar. See
Troubleshooting on page 11.
5. Click Next to allow the genie to help you. Follow the steps to set up
your Internet connection.
Note for DSL: If your DSL Internet service requires a user name
or password, you are prompted to enter this information. If you do
not have this information, contact your Internet service provider
(see Before You Begin on page 2).
Preset Wireless Security
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network
key (password). The default SSID and network key (password) are
uniquely generated for every device, like a serial number, to protect
and maximize your wireless security. This information is on the label
on the bottom of the product.
WiFi network name (SSID) Network key (password)
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi
network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do change
the settings, the security SSID and password on the bottom of the
product no longer apply.
Note: Your network names (SSIDs) and passphrases are case-
sensitive. Your network name, security method, and passphrase need
to be the same for all the wireless devices that are connected to your
router on a network.

7
Wireless Network Settings
Record the default preset wireless settings that are printed on the
label in the spaces here for easy reference.
2.4-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):
2.4-GHz network key (password):
5-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):
5-GHz network key (password):
If you change the default settings, record them here for easy
reference, and then store this booklet in a safe place:
2.4-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):
2.4-GHz network key (password):
5-GHz WiFi network name (SSID):
5-GHz network key (Password):
To retrieve or update your wireless password, type
http://www.routerlogin.net in a web browser and log in using the
default user name (admin) and password (password).
Select Wireless to locate your wireless passwords.

8
Add Wireless Devices to the Network
Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to
add wireless computers and other devices to your wireless network.
WPS Method
If your wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)—
NETGEAR calls this method Push 'N' Connect—you might be
prompted to press the WPS button on the router instead of entering a
password. If this happens:
1. Press the WPS button on the router.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the client device, or
follow the WPS instructions that came with your wireless device to
complete the WPS process. The device is then connected to your
router.
3. Repeat this process to add other WPS wireless devices.
Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a
WEP client to your network using WPS, it does not work.
Manual Method
1. On the wireless device that you want to connect to your router
(iPhone, laptop, computer, gaming device), open the software
utility that manages its wireless connections. This utility scans
for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for the preset NETGEAR WiFi network name (SSID) and
select it. The SSID is on the product label on the bottom of the
router.
Note: If you changed the name of your network during the setup
process, look for that network name.
3. Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you
changed it), and click Connect.

9
Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.
Access the N750 Router to Make Changes
After you use NETGEAR genie to set up the router, you can log in to
the router to view its settings or make changes.
To log in to the router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that
is connected to the router.
2. Type www.routerlogin.net or www.routerlogin.com in the
address field of the browser. A login screen displays:
3. Enter admin for the user name and password for the password.
The NETGEAR genie screen displays:

10
See the User Manual for more information about the router
screens.
To change the password for the router user name:
1. Log in to the router.
2. Select Advanced > Administration > Set Password to display the
Set Password screen:
3. Type your old password, and type the new password twice.

11
Troubleshooting
If the browser does not 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 is fully up and running. Its WiFi LED
should turn on.
•Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser
does not cache the previous page.
•Browse to http://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 modem router does not power on:
1. Check your cables.
•Disconnect and reconnect each cable. There is usually an
audible click when the cable is correctly connected.
•See if the telephone cable connecting your DSL modem
router to the wall jack is plugged into a filter. A filter is not
required if you do not have telephone voice service. A filter
that is installed where it is not needed might eliminate your
ADSL signal.
2. Power down your DSL modem router, and then power it up again.
a. Shut down your computer and turn off the modem router.
b. Unplug the power adapter and all other cables from the back
of the DSL modem router.
c. Wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the cables and adapter to
your DSL modem router, and turn it on.
d. Make sure that the router power light is on. If the light is off,
try plugging the adapter into another power outlet.

12
e. Turn your computer back on, and wait for the indicator lights
to turn green.
3. Open a web browser and try to access the Internet.
If steps 1–3 do not resolve the problem:
4. Reset your modem.
To reset your DSL modem router, use a pin or paper clip to press
in and hold the Reset button.
