WiFi Network Name and Password

The preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network key) 
are unique to your modem router, like a serial number. Because the 
modem router automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need to 
set it up. The WiFi settings are on the product label.

NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings 
because you can check the product label if you forget them. 
NETGEAR genie lets you change these settings. If you do so, write 
down the new WiFi settings and store them in a safe place. 

You can write the WiFi settings from your product label in this space 
for easy reference.

WiFi network name (SSID):
Network key (password):

If you change the WiFi settings, write the new settings here for 
easy reference and store this booklet in a safe place.
