Preset Wireless Security

This product has a

unique

WiFi network name (SSID) and network

key (password). The default SSID and network key (password) are

uniquely generated for every device, like a serial number, to protect

and maximize your wireless security. This information is on the label

on the bottom of the product.

WiFi network name (SSID)

Network key (password)

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi

network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do change

the settings, the security SSID and password on the bottom of the

product no longer apply.

Note:

Your network names (SSIDs) and passphrases are case-

sensitive. Your network name, security method, and passphrase need

to be the same for all the wireless devices that are connected to your

router on a network.

Add Wireless Devices to the Network

Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to

add wireless computers and other devices to your wireless network.

WPS Method

If your wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)—

NETGEAR calls this method Push 'N' Connect—you might be

prompted to press the WPS button on the router instead of entering a

password. If this happens:

Press the

WPS

button

on the router.

Within 2 minutes, press the

WPS

button on the client device, or

follow the WPS instructions that came with your wireless device to

complete the WPS process. The device is then connected to your

router.

Repeat this process to add other WPS wireless devices.

Note:

WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a

WEP client to your network using WPS, it does not work.

Manual Method

On the wireless device that you want to connect to your router

(iPhone, laptop, computer, gaming device), open the software

utility that manages its wireless connections. This utility scans

for all wireless networks in your area.

Look for the preset NETGEAR WiFi network name (SSID) and

select it. The SSID is on the product label on the bottom of the

router.

Note

: If you changed the name of your network during the setup

process, look for that network name.

Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you

changed it), and click

Connect
