The router with the USB storage device only displays in your ReadySHARE Cloud
account after you register it. The Internet connection between the router and the
ReadySHARE Cloud server is kept alive until you unregister it.
•
You can also register the router with another account after unregistering the router
from previous account.
4.
Log in to http://readyshare.netgear.com with your account. You should see the USB device
that is connected to your router. By default, all contents of the USB device are accessible.
You can create a share that is limited to any subset of the contents with the security level
you specify.
5.
The first time you use ReadySHARE Cloud, you are asked to download a Windows client
that makes a secure connection from your computer to the router's USB device. Log in to
this client to access the USB device from anywhere.
Note:
Currently, you can download only the Windows OS client. The Mac OS
client will be ready at a later time on the website.
Note:
Without this client, you can only browse your USB device contents by
clicking the '+' icon (Add Share) on the website. You are not able to open files
nor can you make any changes to them.

Basic Wireless Settings
The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.
The WiFi DSL 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 bottom of the unit.
Note:
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings
.
If you do
decide to 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 Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the WiFi modem router.
To view or change basic wireless settings:
1.
On the BASIC Home screen, select
Wireless
to display the Wireless Settings screen.
The screen sections, settings, and procedures are explained in the following sections.
2.
Make any necessary changes, and click
Apply
to save your settings.
3.
Set up and test your wireless devices and computers to make sure that they can connect
wirelessly. If they do not, check the following:

•
Is your wireless device or computer connected to your network or another wireless
network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open
network (without wireless security) that they discover.
•
Does your wireless device or computer show up on the Attached Devices screen? If it
does, then it is connected to the network.
•
If you are not sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on
the bottom of your WiFi modem router.
Wireless Settings Screen Fields
Region
. The location where the WiFi modem router is used. Select from the countries in the
list. In the United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable.
Wireless Network
Note:
These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and 5-GHz a/n
bands.
Enable Wireless Isolation
. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or
access Ethernet devices on the network.
Enable SSID Broadcast.
This setting allows the WiFi modem router to broadcast its SSID so
wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This check
box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box, and click
Apply
.
Name (SSID)
. The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character
(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly
generated, and
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this.
Channel
. This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1
through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be
operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (when indicated by
lost connections or slow data transfers). If this interference happens, experiment with
different channels to see which is the best.
Mode
. Up to 130 Mbps is the default and 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.

Guest Networks
Adding a guest network allows visitors at your home to use the Internet without using your
wireless security key. You can add a guest network to each wireless network: 2.4 GHz b/g/n
and 5.0 GHz a/n.
To set up a guest network:
1.
From the BASIC Home screen, select
Guest Network
to display the following screen:
2.
Select any of the following wireless settings:
Note:
These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and 5-GHz a/n
bands.
Enable Guest Network
. When this check box is selected, the guest network is enabled,
and guests can connect to your network using the SSID of this profile.
Enable Wireless Isolation
. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers
or wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each
other or access Ethernet devices on the network.
Enable SSID Broadcast
. If this check box is selected, the wireless access point
broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the
correct SSID for connections to this access point.
Allow guest to access My Local Network
. If this check box is selected, any user who
connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just Internet access.
3.
Give the guest network a name.
