WEB INTERFACE PART 1

If you want to encrypt files from a storage device you've connected to the R7000 or if you just want to share a printer you will need to visit the official Netgear support page as seen above to download the ReadySHARE software.

Now as soon as you plug your computer into the router and launch an Internet Explorer window the page will redirect to the startup page of the router which will inform you of whether or not everything is functioning properly.

Compared to previous routers I’ve used by Netgear the new web interface is vastly improved and as you can see as soon as you login the router searches and reports on new firmware versions (if available).

The web interface has two available tabs basic and advanced.

From within the basic tab you can adjust the internet connection settings, wireless settings for both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands, check for attached devices, adjust parental controls, share content from a connected storage device and finally you can create a local guest network.
