The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password when it connects. The router WPS screen displays a confirmation message.
Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi 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 router label. The preset SSID and
password are uniquely generated for every device to maximize your wireless security.
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 the note in a safe
place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the SSID or other wireless security settings, you
are disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with
a wired connection to access the router.
To specify basic wireless settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
In the address field of the web browser, enter
www.routerlogin.net
or
www.routerlogin.com

A login screen displays.

To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box.
When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts its network name (SSID) so that it
displays when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or wireless device.
6.
To change the SSID, type a new name in the
Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and is case-sensitive. The default SSID is
randomly generated and is on the router’s label. If you change the name, make sure to
write down the new name and keep it in a safe place
.
7.
In the
Region
list, select your region.
In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
8.
To change the wireless channel, select a number in the
Channel
list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. NETGEAR recommends channel spacing between
adjacent access points of four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and
10).

To change the mode, select it from the

If you used WiFi to connect to the network and you changed the SSID, you are
disconnected from the network.
11.
Make sure that you can connect with WiFi to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect, check the following:
•
If your computer or wireless device is connected to another WiFi network in your area,
update the wireless network selection in your computer or wireless device to match
the current settings for your network. Some wireless devices automatically connect to
the first open network without wireless security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or wireless device is trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If it is, update the wireless network
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your
network.
