The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password when it connects. The modem router WPS screen displays a confirmation
message.
Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The modem router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name
(SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the
factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the modem router label. The preset
SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to maximize your wireless
security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings
.
If you change
your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place
where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this
problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the modem router.
To specify basic wireless settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is

5.
In the
Region
list, select your region. In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
6.
To turn off the wireless radios, scroll down and clear the
Enable Wireless Gateway radio
check box.
If you clear this check box, you cannot use WiFi to connect to the modem router.
7.
To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box.
When this check box is selected, the modem router broadcasts its network name (SSID)
so that it displays when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or wireless
device.
8.
To change the network name (SSID), type a new name in the
Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID is
randomly generated and is on the modem router’s label. If you change the name, make
sure to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place
.
9.
To change the wireless channel, select a number in the
Channel
list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
10.
To change the mode, select it from the
Mode
list.
Up to 145 Mbps
is the default setting, which allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless
devices to join the network.
g & b
supports up to 54 Mbps. The
300-Mbps
setting allows
802.11n devices to connect at this speed.
