Step-by-step guide to set up Netgear D6200 router
1. Connect your router to the ONT
- Physical connection:
- Connect the WAN port of the Netgear D6200 router to the first port (LAN1 or GE1) on your Optical Network Terminal (ONT) using an Ethernet cable.
- Sometimes we connect to second port instead of first - check your Welcome email instructions to make sure which port you should use.
- Ensure the router is powered on and that your computer or smartphone is connected to the router via Wi-Fi or a LAN cable.
2. Access the router’s Admin Panel
- Login:
- Open a web browser on a connected device and enter
http://192.168.0.1
into the address bar. - Log in using the default credentials:
- Username: admin
- Password: password
- If you have changed the default credentials and cannot remember them, proceed to Step 8 for resetting the router.

- Restart both the ONT and the router by unplugging them for 30 seconds and plugging them back in.
- Double-check the VLAN and DHCP settings in the router’s configuration.
- Ensure that the ethernet cable is securely connected to the correct ports (first port on the ONT and the WAN port on the router).
