CONFIGURING NETGEAR ROUTERS: N600/N750/WNDR3400v3/WNDR4300

Versature has tested the specific configuration described in this article in both lab and real-world environments. Further, other configurations have proven to either not achieve high-quality voice or cause serious issues with other non-voice traffic. 

This article contains the proper setting for the WNDR3400v3/n600/n750/WNDR4300 when using Versature phones.

Factory Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

By using a web browser, you can access the GUI interface by entering the default gateway address of the device. You have to take the router, plug it into your computer then connect to the 192.168.1.1 address.
