    Getting to know your CENTRIA
    NETGEAR CENTRIA is an all-in-one device with three essential functions.
    •     Back up automatically. All your computers—Windows PCs and Macs—can back up 
    incrementally on the CENTRIA internal hard drive or on an external USB storage drive.
    •     Share easily. Store your files and media on your CENTRIA and access or stream them 
    from any Internet-enabled device.
    •     Connect quickly. Enjoy high-performance connectivity throughout your home with your 
    900 Mbps, dual-band WiFi router. 
    CENTRIA comes in two models: WNDR4720, which comes with a 2 TB hard drive, and 
    WNDR4700, for which you provide your own hard drive. You can upgrade the hard disk drive at 
    any time. Both models have two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports for adding even more storage, 
    should you need it. An SD card reader affords simple, single-click backup of media to the internal 
    hard drive.

    Position CENTRIA
    The router lets you access your network from vi rtually anywhere within the operating range of 
    your wireless network. However, the operating  distance or range of your wireless connection 
    can vary significantly depending on the physical  placement of your router. For example, the 
    thickness and number of walls the wireless  signal passes through can limit the range. For 
    best results, place your router:  
    						
    							Hardware Setup9
     CENTRIA WNDR4700/WNDR4720
    •     
    Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate and 
    preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
    •      So it 
    is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
    •     In an
     elevated location such as a high s helf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings 
    between the router and your other devices to a minimum.
    •      A
    way from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that 
    might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves, 
    computers, the base of a cordless phone, or 2.4 GHz cordless phone. 
    •      A
    way from any large metal surfaces, such as  a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large 
    expanses of other materials such as glass, in sulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and 
    concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
    When there is more than one wireless network in the area and they use the same channel, 
    t
     hat can create interference in some instances. If this happens, you can use a different radio 
    frequency channel to reduce interference. T he recommended channel spacing is five 
    channels. Fr example, different networks in t he same area could use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 
    and 11.
