Basic Wireless Settings
The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.
The R6300 WiFi Router comes with preset security. This means that the Wi-Fi 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.
To view or change basic wireless settings:
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 Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the router.
