Frequently Asked Questions
- What do I do if my router isn't listed?
-
If your router isn't on the list, choose the one that is the most similar.
Example: If your router is made by Netgear, select that from the Router Brand menu. And then select the model that is most similar to yours.
Most router manufacturers do not change the administrative interface from model to model. If you choose one that is similar, this tutorial will probably work just fine.
If this doesn't work or if we don't even list your Router Brand, please tell us about your router. It will help us improve the Slingbox set up experience.
