1. Hardware Setup
The Nighthawk AC1750 Smart WiFi Router delivers combined WiFi connection speeds up to
AC1750 (450 Mbps1 at 2.4 GHz 802.11n and 1300 Mbps2 at 5 GHz 802.11ac). Nighthawk is
ideal for bandwidth-hungry activities such as online gaming and video streaming, powered by a
dual-core 1 GHz processor. High-powered amplifiers with antennas provide WiFi coverage
anywhere around your home, inside or out.
For gamers, Nighthawk supports upstream Quality of Service (QoS) optimized for online game
play with game consoles like Xbox. For uninterrupted HD streaming media, Nighthawk features
downstream QoS to identify and prioritize streaming traffic from websites like Netflix, YouTube,
and Hulu Plus.
Nighthawk provides fast central storage, backup, and streaming to every device in your home
with the USB 3.0 port (10 times faster than USB 2.0). Sharing content across your network is
easy, whether you’re accessing stored photos and music or printing wirelessly. Stream your
stored media files anywhere on the network to DLNA screens. Share your music to
AirPlay-compatible devices from the USB hard drive connected to the router. Use the free
NETGEAR ReadySHARE Vault app to back up your Windows computers to a USB hard drive
connected to Nighthawk.

1. Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11 specifications. Actual data throughput and wireless coverage will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual
data throughput rate and wireless coverage. NETGEAR makes no express or implied representations or warranties about this product’s compatibility
with any future standards. 802.11ac 1300 Mbps is approximately 3x faster than 802.11n 450 Mbps.
2. Up to 1300 Mbps wireless speeds achieved when you are connecting to other 802.11ac 1300 Mbps devices.

Position Your Router
The router lets you access your network 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 passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might affect your router’s
signal. Wireless access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, and any other
device that emits a wireless signal for network access.
Position your router according to the following guidelines:
•Place your router near the center of the area where your computers and other devices
operate and within line of sight to your wireless devices.
•Make sure that the router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables
for wired computers.
•Place the router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings
between the router and your other devices.

Types of Logins
Separate types of logins serve 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 product label.
•Router login.This logs you in to the router interface from an Internet browser as admin.
Use an Internet Browser to Access the Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use an
Internet 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.
NETGEAR genie Automatic Internet Setup
You can set up your router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie
menus and screens 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 use the
settings described here.
