How do I set up my Netgear Nighthawk router for the first time?
First, unpack the router and extend the antennas. Connect the modem to the yellow Internet port using an Ethernet cable, plug in the power adapter, and press the Power On/Off button. When the Power LED lights solid white, the router is ready. Then launch a web browser, go to http://www.routerlogin.net, and follow the onscreen instructions for automatic setup, which takes about 15 minutes to complete. (Page 20-21)
