Hardware Setup Getting to know your wireless router The N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Premium Edition WNDR3800 provides high-performance wireless Internet access that is ideal for high-demand applications such as streaming HD video and multiplayer games. Its dual band design provides the maximum flexibility for configuring a home network. This is because the router contains two different types of wireless radios to support connections on both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless links. For help installing your new router, see the installation guide that came in the box. This chapter contains the following sections: • Premium Features • Unpack Your New Router • Prepare the Router for Installation • Hardware Features • Position Your Wireless Router For more information about the topics covered in this manual, visit the Support website at Your router includes premium features, which are described in this section. ReadySHARE ReadySHARE makes it easy to access shared files on your network, to upload files remotely, and to share a network printer. ReadySHARE USB Storage Attach a USB flash drive or storage device to the USB port on your router. Then access the files through your home network. ReadySHARE Cloud ReadySHARE Cloud gives you remote access over the Internet to a USB storage device that is connected to your router’s USB port. Using this feature, you can also invite friends and family members to access the shared contents on the USB device. In addition to remotely sharing anything stored on the USB device connected to your router, you can: • Control friends’ and family’s access to each item stored on the USB device. • Invite new users to access the shared contents. See ReadySHARE Cloud on page 52. ReadySHARE Printer ReadySHARE Printer lets you connect a USB printer to the router’s USB port, and access it wirelessly. See ReadySHARE Printer on page 55. To learn more about ReadySHARE, see Video Mode To prevent packet drops or jitter when streaming high-quality video, NETGEAR recommends that you create a separate Wi-Fi network on the 5 GHz radio band of your router, and connect all of your media-streaming devices, or PCs that you use to stream video, to this Wi-Fi network. See Set Up a Video Network on page 30. ClearChannel Selector Wireless networks are often congested with interference from neighboring Wi-Fi routers, as well as from other household appliances. The ClearChannel Selector feature on your router automatically scans for the clearest and fastest available channels, dynamically avoiding busy Wi-Fi channels. ClearChannel Selector is enabled by default on your WNDR3800 router. TiVo Support This feature allows your TiVo to access media files stored on a USB device that is connected to your router. The TiVo must be on the same network as the router. This feature supports the following file formats: • Video. See and play back mpeg1, and mpeg2 files. • Music. See and play back MP3 files. • Pictures. View images in jpg format. For more information about how to enable TiVo support, see Media Server Settings on page 61.
