For the wireless network name (SSID), use the default name, or choose a suitable descriptive
name. In the
Name (SSID)
field, you can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
The default SSID is NETGEAR.

This field determines which operating frequency is used. It should not be necessary to change
the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless
router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks
within several hundred feet of your router. For more information about the wireless channel
frequencies, click the link to the online document
“Wireless Networking Basics” in

Note:
The SSID is case-sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the
SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in
the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700. If they do
not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the WNDR3700 router.
Note:
If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer and you change the
router’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you click
Apply
. You must then change the wireless settings
of your computer to match the router’s new settings.

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router’s administration password back to
password
. You can erase the current configuration and
restore factory defaults in two ways:
Use the Erase function of the router (see
“Erasing the Configuration” on page 4-12
).
Use the Reset button on the bottom of the router. Use this method for cases when the
administration password or IP address is not known.
To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the administration
password or IP address, you must use the restore settings button on the bottom of the router.
1.
Press and hold the restore settings button for over 5 seconds until the Power light turns to
blinking amber.
2.
Release the restore settings button, and wait for the router to reboot.
If the wireless router fails to restart, or the green Power light continues to blink, the unit might be
defective. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact Technical
Support at

Default Configuration and
Technical Specifications
This appendix provides factory default settings and technical specifications for the RangeMax
Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700.
Restoring the Default Factory Configuration Settings
You can restore the factory default configuration settings to reset the router’s user name to

the password to

and the IP address to
www.routerlogin.net
. This procedure erases
your current configuration, including your wireless security settings, and restores the factory
defaults. When you log in after resetting, the Smart Wizard configuration assistant prompts you to
configure these settings.
To restore the factory default configuration settings:
1.
Use a sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the restore factory settings
button, located on the bottom of the router, for over 5 seconds until the Power light turns to
blinking amber.
2.
Release the restore factory settings button, and wait for the router to reboot.
The factory default settings are restored so that you can access the router from your Web
browser using the factory defaults.
