Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 1

Getting to Know Your Wireless Router

Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR® high-speed wireless router, the N300

Wireless Gigabit Router Model WNR3500L.

The WNR3500L is also the NETGEAR Open Source Wireless-N Router. If you are interested in

custom firmware and other third party applications, be sure to visit the Open Source community

web site http://www.myopenrouter.com.

Before you begin installing your router, check the package contents (see “Unpacking Your New

Router” on page 1). Become familiar with the front and back panels of your router—especially the

status lights—and the important information on the router label (see “Hardware Features” on

page 3). Then, read the section on “Positioning Your Wireless Router” on page 6 to ensure that

you have selected the best location to install your router.

Unpacking Your New Router

Your product package should contain the following items:

• The Wireless Router

• A snap-on stand for your N300 Wireless router

• An AC power adapter (varies by region)

• A yellow Ethernet cable

• NETGEAR Installation Guide

• The Resource CD, which includes:

– The Smart Wizard (Autorun.exe)

– A PDF version of this manual

– A link to the online User Manual

After your router is installed and you have Internet access, you can access

the online User Manual by clicking Documentation on the main menu.

Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 2

If any of the parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, contact your NETGEAR dealer. Keep the

carton, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the product for repair.

To prepare your router for installation:

1. Carefully peel off the protective film covering both sides of your router (see Figure 1).

2. Set up your N300 Wireless router by inserting the tabs of the stand (supplied with your router)

into the slots on the bottom of your router as shown in Figure 2. Then, remove the protective

film covering the status light panel of the router.

3. Place your router in a suitable area for installation (near an AC power outlet and accessible to

the Ethernet cables for your wired computers).

Hardware Features

Before you install and connect your router, take a moment to become familiar with important

information on the label, and with the front and back panels of the router—especially the status

lights on the front panel.

Front Panel

The router front panel, shown in Figure 3, contains status lights. (For more information on

interpreting the status lights, see “Verifying Your Connection” on page 17 and “Checking Basic

Router Functions” on page 31.)

To ensure proper heat dissipation and for router stability, it is important that you

connect the stand and place your router in an upright position.

Positioning Your Wireless Router

The N300 Wireless router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the

operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your

wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For

example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal must pass through might limit the

range. For best results, place your router:

• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices will operate, preferably

within line of sight to your wireless devices.

• Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.

• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings between

the N300 Wireless router and your other devices to a minimum.

• Away from electrical devices which are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling fans,

home security systems, microwaves, or the base for a cordless phone.

• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and

concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

Installing Your N300 Wireless Gigabit Router

To help you set up your router and get on the Internet quickly, the Resource CD contains a Smart

Wizard™. The Smart Wizard walks you through the steps required to connect your router, modem,

and PC(s); configure your wireless settings; and enable wireless security for your network. When

• Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance

degradation or an inability to wirelessly connect to the Internet.

Warning: Do not install this device on top of any other electrical equipment or install

any other equipment on top of this device. Keep this device away from any

heat sources such as direct sunlight, heaters, radiators, or other A/V

receivers or devices that emit heat.
