• For security reasons, you must first register your router with your local computer before adding it to your Remote genie account. After everything has been set up properly, you will be able to access your router from your remote computer.

• Launch NETGEAR Desktop genie on the distant machine (the PC that is not connected to your network).
• Router configurations can be accessed after logging into your Remote Genie account.
• Upon logging in, a cloud icon will appear in the top right corner of the Desktop genie window. This means you are controlling the router’s settings from afar.
• Changes can be made to the Wireless Settings, Guest Access, Traffic Meter, Parental Control, and Reboot options. Tabs at the top of the page can be used to gain access to further options. Later upgrades will include support for more sophisticated features.
• When you’re done making adjustments, close Remote access by selecting Logout.
