Support

Configuration Without Installation CD

The installation / Setup CD is completely unnecessary and recommended not to use.

You do not need the CD or internet access to configure your router. It has a web interface which you access directly with the Firefox web browser by typing the following IP address in the URL bar: http://192.168.1.1

Default IP Address: 192.168.1.1 Default Username: admin Default Password: password

Please note the idiot forum moderator GuyAdams posted an erroneous IP address on the Netgear forum. The correct IP address is 192.168.1.1

The product manual is also problematic. It makes no mention of directly accessing the factory reset router via the default IP address. It proxies through a URL and text address because the designers thing it makes things easier. They are also idiots.

Packaged AC/DC Adapter

Most are packaged with the Netgear AC-DC Adapter MT12-Y120100-A1 adapter.
