Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 7
Installing Your Wireless Router
To help you set up your router and get on the Internet quickly, the Resource CD contains a Smart
Wizard™. The Smart Wizard walks you through the steps required to connect your router and
PC(s); configure your internet settings; configure your wireless settings; and enable wireless
security for your network. When you have finished, you will be Internet ready!
You can set up your N750 wireless gigabit router using one of two methods:
•Smart Wizard Setup: The Smart Wizard setup is available on your Resource CD. See
“Installing Your Wireless Router Using Smart Wizard” on page 9 to use the Smart Wizard.
– This is the easiest option. The wizard guides you through the setup process. It automates
many of the steps and verifies that the steps have been successfully completed.
– Smart Wizard requires a PC running Microsoft Windows or a Mac.
•Manual Setup: If you cannot or prefer not to use the Smart Wizard, see “Installing Your
Wireless Router Manually (Advanced and Linux Users)” on page 11. For example, if you are
using a Linux operating system or are technically knowledgeable, select this option. If you
choose to use this option and install your router manually, for best results, install and set up
your router in this order:
1. Install and connect your wireless router to your network (see “Connecting Your N750
Wireless Gigabit Router” on page 11).
2. Set up your wireless router for Internet access (see “Setting Up Your Router for Internet
Access” on page 15).
3. Configure your wireless network and select wireless security settings to protect your
wireless network (see “Configuring Your Wireless Network” on page 19).
If you have a Linux system, you need to use the manual installation method (see
“Installing Your Wireless Router Manually (Advanced and Linux Users)” on
page 11).
Before running the Smart Wizard on a corporate PC to set up your home
router, check with your company’s network support staff. Corporate
network settings or Virtual Private Network (VPN) client software may
conflict with the default settings of a home router. If you are unsure about
whether there might be a conflict, use a different computer.
Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 8
Updating Your Router Firmware
NETGEAR is always improving the operability and features included with your router. To make it
easy for you to receive the best, most up-to-date features of your router, NETGEAR provides a
variety of methods for updating your product.
• The Smart Wizard installation assistant lets you check for and install updates as part of the
setup activity.
• The router includes an update feature that lets you check for and install updates. You must be
logged in to the router to use this feature (see the Reference Manual for details).
These options are discussed in “Installing Your Wireless Router Manually (Advanced and Linux
Users)” on page 11.
Installing Your Wireless Router Using Smart Wizard 9
Installing Your Wireless Router Using
Smart Wizard
Prepare the following before you set up your router, making sure that:
• You are using a computer with either a Mac operating system or a Windows operating system
(Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 2000, or Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or above).
• You have an Internet service connection through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• Your PC has a wired Ethernet connection (not a wireless connection).
• For cable modem service, that you use the computer you first used to set up your Internet
service.
The NETGEAR Smart Wizard takes you through the procedure to connect your router and PC(s).
It then helps you to configure your wireless settings and enable wireless security for your network.
The Smart Wizard guides you through the setup and configuration process by automating many of
the steps. At each step in the setup process, the Smart Wizard checks to ensure that the steps you
perform are successfully completed.
The wizard setup process takes about 20 minutes to complete.
To set up your router using the Smart Wizard:
1. To start the Smart Wizard:
• For Windows users,
– Insert the Resource CD into your PC. The CD will automatically start and detect the
language you are using on your PC. Select a different language option, if you prefer.
– In the CD’s menu, click Setup to start the Smart Wizard.
•For Mac users, double-click the MacWizard program.
2. When the Smart Wizard prompts you to Check for Firmware Updates, click Yes to check the
NETGEAR website for new router firmware; or check No to check for updates later (see
“Accessing Your Router After Installation and Checking for New Firmware” on page 19).
If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click
on .

3. Follow the instructions and prompts to complete the installation.
The Smart Wizard guides you through installing your router, connecting your router to the
Internet, configuring your wireless network settings, and selecting the optimum security
protection for your network. If you choose not to select a security option during installation,
you can always access the router’s user interface later to select a security option (see “Setting
Your SSID and Wireless Security Manually” on page 20 or “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to
Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 23).
At the close of installation:
•For Windows users, the Smart Wizard places a Router_Setup.html file on your
computer’s desktop so that you can view the router settings. It also places the Router
Login shortcut on the desktop for you to access the router’s main menu.
•For Mac users, the Smart Wizard places a Router_Setup.pdf file on your desktop.
You are now connected to the Internet!
After connecting to the Internet, you can:
• Log in to the router and check for new firmware. Refer to the bottom label for the default login
information, or see the steps in “Accessing Your Router After Installation and Checking for
New Firmware” on page 19.
• Set up additional wireless computers in your network for Internet access (see “Configuring
Your Wireless Settings and Security Options” on page 20).
For advanced features not covered in this manual, see the Reference Manual on your Resource CD.
A link to the online Reference Manual also is available from the router interface.
To ensure optimum performance of your high-speed wireless router, the
wireless adapter card for each computer in your network should support the
same technology as your router (see the online User Manual for more
information).
The factory default state is restored when you use the restore factory settings button.
See “Restoring the Default Password and Configuration Settings” on page 38 for more
information about this feature.
Installing Your Wireless Router Manually (Advanced and Linux Users) 11
Installing Your Wireless Router Manually
(Advanced and Linux Users)
Before installing and connecting your router manually, review the list below and make sure that
you have all of the necessary information.
• A DSL or cable service connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• The configuration information your ISP gave you. Depending on how your Internet account
was set up, you might need the following information to set up your N750 wireless gigabit
router and access the Internet:
– Host and Domain Name
– Internet Login Name and Password (frequently an email address and password)
– Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses
– Fixed or Static IP Address
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.
If you cannot locate this information, contact your ISP.
If you have not already done so:
• Check the package contents of your router to ensure that it is complete (see “Unpacking Your
New Wireless Router” on page 1”).
• Select an optimum location for your N750 wireless gigabit router after reviewing the
guidelines presented in “Positioning Your Wireless Router” on page 6.”
Connecting Your N750 Wireless Gigabit Router
Before you install your N750 wireless gigabit router, make sure that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Property settings on your computer are set to “automatically obtain an IP address” using DHCP
and “Obtain DNS server address automatically.” You can check these settings by looking at the
TCP/IP Properties of your Internal Network Connections, which are accessible through the
Installing Your Wireless Router Manually (Advanced and Linux Users) 12
Control Panel of your computer. If you are unsure about this, refer to the documentation for your
computer or see the link to TCP/IP Addressing in “Related Documents” on page 39.
There are two steps to setting up your N750 wireless gigabit router:
1. Connect the router to the ADSL or cable modem, and connect a computer to the router.
2. Configure the router to use your Internet service.
To connect your N750 wireless gigabit router:
1. Connect the N750 wireless gigabit router, the computer, and the modem.
a. Turn off your computer.
b. Turn off and unplug the cable or ADSL broadband modem. If your modem has a backup
battery, remove it as well.
c. Locate the Ethernet cable (1) that connects your computer to the modem.
2. Disconnect the cable from the modem (2). You will connect it to the router later.
3. Locate the Ethernet cable that came with the NETGEAR product. Securely insert that Ethernet
cable into your modem and into the Internet port of the N750 wireless gigabit router (3).
If you are replacing an existing router, disconnect it completely from your network
and set it aside before starting to install your new router.
