Before starting, please take note of your current DNS server IP’s in the event you would like to revert back to the default settings.  Follow these simple guidelines in order to get your Netgear Router setup with DNSFlex in no time!

Open a web browser and enter your routers IP Address into the address bar in order to access the network settings page.  This address is typically http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1.  Alternatively you can enter http://www.routerlogin.com or http://www.routerlogin.net into your address bar.

Enter “admin” for the user name and “password” for the password. If you changed your admin password, enter the password that you created. NETGEAR genie displays.

Note:  Whenever making any manual changes to your network connectivity it is always best practice to reboot your device in order for the changes to propagate.  Please proceed to reboot your Netgear Router following this tutorial.   Congratulations,  you are now fully setup to use DNSFlex services!
