WiFi Network Name and Password

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

NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you 
can check the 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. 

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

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.

WiFi network name (SSID)

Join the WiFi Network

To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming 
device) to your router’s WiFi network, you can use either the manual 
method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.

Manual Method

1.  Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections on the 

computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.

2.  Find and select your router’s WiFi network name (SSID).

The SSID is on the product label.

3.  Enter the router’s password (or your custom password if you changed 

it) and click the 

Connect

 button.

The password is on the product label.

4.  Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices.

WPS Method

If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join 
the modem router’s WiFi network. For help with the 

WPS

 button on your 

computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came 
with that computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.

Note: 

WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security, 

use the manual method.
1.  Press the 

WPS

 button 

 on the router.

2.  Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its 

WPS

 

button or click its onscreen 

WPS

 button.

The computer or WiFi device connects to your router’s WiFi network.

3.  Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices to the 

network.
