Hi Eugene You don't normally need to run the software. Generally you can log in from a web interface and log in to the Netgear direct and set it up from there. (Most Netgears are 192.168.0.1 by default). Then you can follow the web wizard to set it up. :)
If it's got the VoIP feature built in, then you may just need to log in manually as above and set it up (or check it's set up).
