To set up your NETGEAR N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router, follow these steps:
1. Collect your cable Internet provider information: Gather your cable account number, account phone number, and login information (email address or username and password).
2. Turn off existing modems and routers: If you are replacing a modem that is currently connected in your home, unplug the old modem and plug in the new modem router into the same cable wall outlet.
3. Connect a coaxial cable: Use the coaxial cable provided by your cable company to connect the cable port on the modem router to a cable wall outlet or a line splitter. Ensure the cable is tightly connected. Note: If your cable Internet provider is Comcast XFINITY, it is recommended to connect the modem router directly to a cable wall outlet.
4. Connect the power adapter: Connect the modem router to the power adapter included in the package and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. Wait for the Power LED to light up green, indicating the startup procedure is complete.
5. Wait for the modem router to come online: The modem router will come online when the Internet LED stops blinking and lights solid green. This process may take up to 10 minutes.
6. Connect a computer or WiFi device to the modem router: Use either a WiFi connection or a wired connection. For WiFi connection, use the WiFi network name (SSID) and password printed on the product label. For a wired connection, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a yellow Ethernet port on the modem router. Reboot the computer.
7. Log in to the modem router: Launch a web browser and enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1 in the address field. When prompted, enter "admin" for the username and the password provided in the manual.
8. Activate your Internet service: Visit your cable Internet provider's website and follow the onscreen instructions to activate your Internet service. If you encounter any issues, call your cable Internet provider and provide them with your account information, modem router's model number (C3700), serial number, and MAC address (found on the product label).
9. Join the WiFi network: To connect your computer or WiFi device to the modem router's WiFi network, you can use either the manual method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method. Follow the instructions provided in the manual for both methods.
