Set Up Wireless Security

This product is preconfigured with a preset unique WiFi Network Name (SSID), 
security type, and password that are located on the label on the bottom of the 
unit. The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to 
protect and maximize your wireless security.

NETGEAR recommends that you not change the WiFi Network Name (SSID), 
security type, or password. If you do change these settings during the installation 
process, the information on the bottom of the unit will no longer apply.

Connect Wireless Devices to Your Network

You can add wireless computers and other equipment to your wireless network: 

1.   

Open the wireless software that manages your wireless connections on the 
wireless device (iPhone, laptop computer, gaming device) that you want to 
connect to your router. 

2.   

The wireless software scans for all wireless networks in your area. Look for your 

network—the one you named when you set up your router. Select it.

3.   

If you set up security, you are prompted for a passphrase or network key. Enter 
the passphrase you selected and click 

Connect.

 

If your wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)—NETGEAR calls 
this method Push 'N' Connect—you might be prompted to press the WPS button 

 on the router instead of entering a passphrase.
