Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk™ Owner's Manual

The label on the router shows the login information, MAC address, and serial number.

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:

ISP login. The login that your 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 key or password. Your router is preset with a unique wireless network 
name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the router label.

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

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.

You can set up your router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie 
menus and pages 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.
