how do I add a cell phone to my netgear wireless router?

Is Your cell phone running Android, or is it an iPhone, or is it something else?

Also, what version of the the OS is it running?

There are different instructions for every cell phone OS.
 


Would help to know exactly why you can't set it up. What happens when you try? What phone model do you have?
