Position Your Router

The router lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your WiFi

network. However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can vary

significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the thickness

and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can limit the range.

Additionally, other WiFi access points in and around your home might affect your router’s

signal. WiFi access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, or any other device

that emits a WiFi signal for network access.

To position your router:

1. Carefully peel off the protective film covering your router.

2. Position your router according to the following guidelines:

•Place your router near the center of the area where your computers and other devices

operate, and within line of sight to your WiFi devices.

•Make sure that the router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet

cables for wired computers.

•Place the router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings

between the router and your other devices.

•Place the router away from electrical devices such as these:

-Ceiling fans

-Home security systems

-Microwaves

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.

Types of logins:

•Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) 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 login. Your router is preset with a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and

password for WiFi access. This information is on the product label.

•Router login. This logs you in to the router interface from the web browser as admin.

Use a Web Browser to Access the Router

When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a

web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. The first time you access the

router, NETGEAR genie automatically checks to see if your router can connect to your

Internet service.

NETGEAR genie Automatic Internet Setup

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 that the computers and devices in the network have the

settings described here.

When your Internet service starts, your 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.

NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. Installation and basic setup takes

about 15 minutes to complete.

Connect to the Network and Access the Router

AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router R6050

To use NETGEAR genie to set up your router:

1. Make sure that your computer or WiFi device is connected to the router with an Ethernet

cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings listed on the product 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.

2. Launch a web browser.

The screen that displays depends on whether you have accessed the router before:

•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, enter in the http://www.routerlogin.net

address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

NETGEAR genie guides you through connecting the router to the Internet.

4. 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.

5. If the router does not connect to the Internet, do the following:

•Review your settings. Make sure that you selected the correct options and typed

everything correctly.

•Contact your ISP to verify that you have the correct configuration information.

•Read Chapter 10, Troubleshooting. If problems persist, register your NETGEAR

product and contact NETGEAR technical support.

When you first set up your router, NETGEAR genie automatically starts when you launch a

web 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.

Change the MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.

When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets

travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU

setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or “fragmented” to

accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In some situations,

changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless

one of these situations occurs:

•You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the

technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting.

These web-based applications might require an MTU change:

-A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page

-Yahoo email

-MSN portal

-America Online’s DSL service

•You use VPN and have severe performance problems.

•You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have

connectivity or performance problems.

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication

problems. For example, you might not be able to access certain

websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP

servers.

To change the MTU size:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns

By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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.

These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP

Wireless Distribution System

You can set up the router to be used as a wireless base station or wireless repeater in a

wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through

multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. A wireless base

station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless

signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also

have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base

station.

The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.

Figure 6. Wireless repeating scenario

The router can function either as a base station or as a repeater:

•Wireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and

from the child repeater access point, as well as handling wireless and wired local

Specify Network Settings

AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router R6050

computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the child

repeater access point.

•Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers

to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the

remote parent access point.

For you to set up a WiFi network in a WDS, he following conditions must be met for both t

access points:

•Both access points must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.

•Both access points must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point LAN

IP addresses are in the same network.

•All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the

same LAN network address range as the access points.

•The channel selection on the access points cannot be Auto (see Specify Basic WiFi

Settings on page 25).

•The security option must be WEP (or no security). The option displays only if you WEP

select from the list on the Wireless Settings screen (see Up to 54 Mbps Mode Specify

Basic WiFi Settings on page 25).

Set Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be

daisy-chained. You must know the wireless MAC addresses of all units. First, set up the base

station and then set up the repeater.

To set up the base station:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net http://www.routerlogin.comor .
