Chapter 2
Wireless Configuration
For a wireless connection, the
SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless
security setting must be the same for
the gateway and wireless computers or wireless adapters.
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. This chapter includes:
“Planning Your Wireless Network
” on this page
“Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3
“Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network and Security” on
page 2-10
“Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices” on page 2-13
“Wireless Guest Networks” on page 2-14
“Configuring Wi-Fi Multimedia” on page 2-18
“Turning on Access Control to Restrict Access by MAC Address” on page 2-19
Planning Your Wireless Network
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel
and region must be set correctly.
To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can use Wi-
Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security.
To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:
SSID. The default SSID for the gateway is Wireless.
The wireless mode (802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports.
Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless
adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.

“Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3
