RS700S setup issues
I have a new RS700S and I am trying to get it setup but having issues. My first question is does it need to have access to the internet to complete the setup? I am switching to Fiber and I am ...
No. Can be setup with out being connected to any ISP service. Use a wired PC and web browser for this. I do this all the time with mine. I use MS Edge browser.

Follow the step in the setup wizard that says your not connected to the internet, select setup manually.
You may get a screen that is blank towards the end and seems to wan to go to netgears warranty page. You can skip this. Just input 192.168.1.1 again and it should get you the home screen of the router or the log in.
