1. Hit the caps lock button.
2. Each device can have something different. Especially if its been setup before.
3. What device are you trying to setup?
You can also try a factory reset to clear out any prior settings. Push and hold reset while fully powered on for 7-10 seconds. The lights should change when you've held it long enough.
many devices (you don't say what you have), have an ethernet port on them. Try connecting to that and following the seutp guide.
You can also go to netgear.com/support/ and type in your model number. It'll have install guides, install videos, manuals, troubleshooting, etc. its a great guide for installing.
