This guide walks you through setting up your Netgear Nighthawk router—from connecting it to your modem and powering it on to logging in via the web at 192.168.1.1 or the Nighthawk app. Use the default username and password found on your router to access the dashboard and manage settings. If login issues occur, check your browser version, device connection, IP address accuracy, and clear your cache. Following these steps will help you easily set up and manage your Nighthawk router.
