Follow up post installation

[BandD]

I do not have a smart phone.

I borrowed a smart phone for installation purposes.

Now, without access to a smart phone, how do I 'check up' on my modem should I want to for any reason?

Thanks,

Bob

Which equipment have you installed?

A router? Modem? Modem/router?

They can have different ways in.

Mobile phones are necessary for most things you can do. Some of us avoid mobile access wherever possible.

Manuals are always a good place to start.

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

Look for the model number on the label on the device.

Installed Nighthawk Netgear42 router.

Have read the Manual - with my 2nd grade level knowledge of computers, the Manual is like a foreign language to me.

Netgear42 is NOT a router model! Look at the device's label underneath!
