To ensure proper agency compliance and compatibility between similar products in your

Placement of the Router to Optimize Wireless Connectivity
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of the Router. For best results, place your Router:
•
Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate,
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf,
•
Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones,
•
Away from large metal surfaces.
Note:
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or
inability to wirelessly connect to the Router.
Wireless Network
Name (SSID)
Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all
wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is NETGEAR, but NETGEAR strongly
recommends that you change your networks Name (SSID) to a different value. This value is also
case-sensitive. For example,
Wireless
is not the same as
wireless
.
Region
Select your region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region of operation for which the
wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the Router in a region other than the
region shown here. If your country or region is not listed, please check with your local government
agency or check our website for more information on which channels to use.
Channel
This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change
the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point.

•
Up to 54 Mbps - Legacy Mode with maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks.

neighboring wireless networks.
