How to set up N900 WNDR4500v2 using MacBook Pro

Hi! I have a router that has been previously set up in my old house, and now need to make it work in my new apartment. The cables are connected, and it the network shows up on my computer, but internet does not work! My laptop does not have an Ethernet cable port so I can't connect the router directly to my computer to configure... Help?!
  • You can set up the router by connecting your computer to its Wi-Fi network.

     

    Try pointing your browser at routerlogin.net.  This should take you to your router's login page.  If routerlogin.net doesn't work, then try entering the router's IP address into your browser.  You can find the router's IP address address by holding down the Option key and clicking on the Wi-Fi icon on the top right of your Macbook screen.

     

    You will need your router's admin password.  Proceed to set it up to work with your new Internet connection.

  • Thanks so much for the help! I was able to get through most of the steps but had to call my internet provider for some of the info the site asked for. Turns out that they had to input the router information into their system in order for it to work. All good now, thanks again!
