Model RAX48 AX5200 - Set Up Using Laptop

I bouight a nighthawk RAX48 AX5200.  I do not have a smart phone so I cannot use the NetGear App to set up the router.  Can I use my laptop to set up the router and if so, where are the directions that I can follow to set up my router.  Thanks.

  • Yes you can use a laptop. i do it all the time. 

    When you start the install process, the page that has "netgear recommends the app" actually has a link at the botton to proceed using a laptop/pc. Use that link. 

    There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.
