The WNDRMAC 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 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.
