To get connected via your Netgear modem, you'll need to log into your modem gateway.
Note: This can be done on most mobile devices, but we recommend doing these steps with your PC if you have one.
Logging into your modem
To access modem gateway enter http://www.routerlogin.com in the address bar of a web browser. If it does not work or if it has been changed, check your router's IP address. For instructions, click here.
Use admin for username field and password in the password field then click on Login.
