Wireless-N ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2000 Reference Manual

Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings
v1.0, July 2008
•
If a connection is established, the modem router WPS screen displays a message
confirming that the wireless client was successfully added to the wireless network. (The
modem router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security
[including a PSK security password] on the modem router, and has sent this configuration
to the wireless client.)
5.
Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch a browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should see the modem router’s Internet LED blink, indicating
communication to the ISP.
For more information about WPS, see
“Displaying and Configuring Advanced WPS Settings” in
Chapter 5
.
Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup
You can add more WPS clients to your wireless network, or you can add a combination of
WPS-enabled clients and clients without WPS.
To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:
1.
Follow the procedures in
“Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network and Security” on page 2-17
.
2.
To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless and Ethernet-
connected), see
“Viewing Attached Devices” in Chapter 4
.
For non-WPS clients, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add them to the wireless
network. You must record, and then manually enter your security settings (see
“Manually
Configuring Your Wireless Security” on page 2-10
).
Note:
If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute timeframe,
security will not be implemented on the modem router.
Note:
Your wireless settings remain the same when you add another WPS-enabled client,
as long as the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings
checkbox is selected in the
Advanced WPS Settings screen (listed under the Advanced heading in the modem
router main menu). If you clear this checkbox, when you add the client, a new
SSID and passphrase will be generated, and all existing connected wireless clients
will be disassociated and disconnected from the modem router.

Apply
.
Record this information to add additional clients.
3.
For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the
utility’s instructions to enter the security settings that you selected in
step 2
(the SSID, WPA/
PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).
4.
For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedures in
“Using Push 'N'
Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network and Security” on page 2-17
.
The settings that you configured in Step 2 are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they can
connect to the modem router.
To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless- and Ethernet-
connected), see
“Viewing Attached Devices” in Chapter 4
.
Note:
To make sure that your new wireless settings remain in effect, verify that the

Protecting Access to Your Wireless Modem Router
For security reasons, the modem router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period
of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login automatically disconnects. When
prompted, enter
admin
for the modem router user name and
password
for the modem router
password. You can use the following procedures to change the modem router’s password and the
period for the administrator’s login time-out.
NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal
password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both
upper case and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30
characters.
Note:
The user name and password are not the same as any other user name or password
your might use to log in to your Internet connection.
