N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010
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 changes that are needed 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 router.
Wireless Settings Screen Fields
You can configure the following wireless settings:
•
Region
. The location where the 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.
•
Enable Wireless Isolation
. If this check box is selected, then 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 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
Allow Broadcast of Name
(SSID)
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 setting.
•
Channel
. This setting is the wireless channel the gateway uses. 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 (shown by
lost connections or slow data transfers). If you experience interference, experiment with
different channels to see which is the best.
•
Mode
:
•
Up to 54 Mbps
. This legacy mode uses a maximum speed of Mbps for b/g
networks.
•
Up to 65 Mbps
. (Default) This neighbor-friendly mode does not interfere with
neighboring wireless networks.
•
Up to 150 Mbps
. Performance mode uses the maximum wireless-N speed of up
to 150 Mbps.
•
Security Options Settings
. The Security Options section of the Wireless Settings
screen lets you change the security option and passphrase.
Do not disable security
.
To change WPA Security Option and Passphrase:
1.
Under Security Options, select a WPA option.
2.
In the Passphrase field that displays when you select a WPA security option, enter the
network key (passphrase) that you want to use.
It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.

Guest Networks
Adding a guest network allows visitors at your home to use the Internet without giving them
your wireless security key. You can add a guest network to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n wireless
network.
To set up a guest network:
1.
Select
Basic >
Guest Network
to display the following screen:
2.
Select any of the following wireless settings:
•
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.
The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters. You then
manually configure the wireless devices in your network to use the guest network name in
addition to the main nonguest SSID.
4.
Select a security option from the list.
The security options are described in
Guest Network Wireless Security Options
on
page

5.
Click
Apply
to save your selections.

Guest Network Wireless Security Options
A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The
security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices
receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption.
This section presents an overview of the security options and provides guidance on when to
use which option. It is possible to set up a guest network without wireless security.
NETGEAR does
not
recommend doing so.
WPA Encryption
WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means
that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (
) because it complies
with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.
WPA uses a passphrase to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption
keys, then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is
designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points.
It is superseded by WPA2-PSK.
WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA-PSK. It is advertised to be theoretically indecipherable due
to the greater degree of randomness in encryption keys that it generates. WPA2-PSK gets
higher speed because it is usually implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is usually
implemented through software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate
the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key.
WPS-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode can provide broader support for all wireless clients.
WPA2-PSK clients get higher speed and security, and WPA-PSK clients get decent speed
and security.
FastLane
You can use the FastLane feature to reserve bandwidth on the router for a trusted IP address
that you specify. The first time you turn on FastLane, you should specify the amount of
bandwidth you want to reserve and set up the push button for FastLane.
FastLane prevents others from using up your bandwidth. When you connect to the router
from the trusted IP address, you have guaranteed bandwidth for video steaming applications.

To set up the FastLane feature:
1.
On the Basic Home tab, select FastLane:
2.
Select the
Turn On FastLane
check box.
3.
Select the amount of bandwidth to be reserved from the drop-down list.
You can choose to reserve 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80% of the bandwidth.
4.
Enter the trusted IP address.
5.
Select the
FastLane
radio button.
