Preset Wireless Security 

This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password). 
The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device (like a 
serial number), to protect and maximize your wireless security. This information is on 
the label on the bottom of the product. 

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset SSID or password. If you 
do change the settings, the information on the bottom of the product does not apply.

Find the preset wireless settings on your router and record them here:

 

WiFi network name (SSID) ________________________________

 Network key (password) __________________________________

If you change the preset wireless settings, record them here:

 Wireless network name (SSID) _______________________________

 Network key (password) _____________________________________

If necessary to retrieve or update your password, type

 

http://www.routerlogin.net

 

in a web browser, and log in using the 

default user name (

admin

)

 

and password (

password

). 

Select 

Wireless Settings

 to locate your wireless password.

Connect Wireless Devices to Your Router

Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to add wireless 
computers, and other devices to your wireless network. 

Manual Method

1.   

Open the software utility that manages your wireless connections on the 
wireless device that you want to connect to your router (iPhone, laptop, 
computer, gaming device). This utility scans for all wireless networks in your 
area. 

2.   

Look for the preset NETGEAR wireless network name (SSID), and select it. 

The SSID is on the product label on the bottom of the router.

Note: 

If you changed the name of your network during the setup process, look 

for that network name. 

3.   

Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you changed it), and 
click 

Connect

.

 

4.   

Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.

WPS Method

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 password. If you are prompted to press the WPS 
button:

1.   

Press the 

WPS

 button 

 on the router.

2.   

Within 2 minutes, press the 

WPS

 button on the client device, or follow the 

WPS instructions that came with your wireless device to complete the WPS 
process. The device is then connected to your router. 

3.   

Repeat this process to add other WPS wireless devices.

Note: 

WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a WEP client 

to your network using WPS, it does not work.

Troubleshooting

The browser cannot display the web page. 

•     

Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, 

or wirelessly to the router.

•     

Make sure that the Wireless LED is lit. 

•     

Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the 

previous page.

•     

Browse to 

http://www.routerlogin.net

.

•     

If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this setting is uncommon), 

change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
