HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR NETGEAR R6350 ROUTER: A COMPLETE SETUP GUIDE Netgear R6350 Dual Band WiFi Router, known for giving fast internet, solid coverage, and more control over your home network. But here’s the thing—you won’t get the best out of the router unless it’s set up right. The Router R6350 setup supports AC1750 speeds—which basically means up to 450 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5GHz. Pretty good. But again, those numbers don’t mean much if the setup is half-done or incorrect. In this guide, we’ll take you through everything you need to do—starting from the physical connections to logging into the admin panel and adjusting the important settings. So, whether you’re unboxing this router for the first time or resetting it and starting over, this walkthrough will help you get it up and running the right way—so you can enjoy full speed, better stability, and total control over your home WiFi.

STEP 2: ACCESS THE NETGEAR ROUTER LOGIN PAGE • Once hardware is connected, it’s time to access the configuration dashboard. • Open a browser on your connected device. • Type routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. • Enter the default login credentials: • Username: admin • Password: password • (Both are case-sensitive and should be changed after login.) • If you’ve changed your credentials earlier and forgot them, you’ll need to perform a factory reset.
STEP 3: USE THE SETUP WIZARD • After logging in, the router will automatically detect your internet connection type. • The Netgear Setup Wizard will guide you through: • Detecting the connection type (DHCP, PPPoE, static IP) • Configuring SSID (network name) and WiFi password • Setting up admin credentials • Follow all prompts and click Next to save your settings. • At the end, the router will apply the settings and restart.

Now tap on “Administration” and then “Firmware Update”. • Firmware update will show the updates to be made, if prompted on the page. • If there’s an update, download and install it. • The router will reboot after updating. • It’s recommended to keep automatic firmware updates enabled for security and performance reasons.
STEP 5: CUSTOMIZE WIFI SETTINGS • Personalizing your WiFi network makes it easier to manage and helps prevent unauthorized access. • Set WiFi Names and Passwords: • Go to Wireless Settings. • Set your SSID for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. • Choose WPA2-PSK as the security option. • Create a strong password (minimum 12 characters recommended). • Enable Guest WiFi (Optional): • Navigate to Guest Network settings. • Enable it and assign a different SSID. • Set a password or keep it open for easy guest access.
STEP 6: CONFIGURE PARENTAL CONTROLS AND QOS • Parental Controls: • Go to Parental Controls under the Basic menu. • Download the Smart Parental Controls app if prompted. • From the app, you can manage: • Content filters • Screen time • Bedtimes and usage schedules • QoS Setup: • Visit Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup. • Enable Dynamic QoS. • Prioritize bandwidth for streaming, gaming, or video calls.
