How do I connect my existing Netgear Router to a new computer?

  • Wired is best.

     

    If you look at the manual, there is a diagram on page 5. (That's the copy I downloaded.) "Getting to Know Your Wireless Router".

     

    Plug a LAN cable into the computer and the other end into one of the orange LAN sockets.

     

    Otherwise, follow the computer's instructions for connecting by wifi.

  • You can connect by wire or look up the wifi from the computer and connect to it.
