To configure the wireless security settings of your router:
1.
Log in to the router as described in
“Logging In to Your Wireless Router” on page 1-2.
2.
Select
Wireless Settings
under Setup in the main menu.
The available settings in this screen are:
•
Name (
11N SSID
)
or
Name (
11G SSID
)
. These are the names of the 11N and 11G
wireless networks.
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of
up to 32 alphanumeric characters. When more than one wireless network is active,
different wireless network names provide a way to separate the traffic. For a wireless
device to participate in a particular wireless network, it must be configured with the SSID
for that network. The WNDR3300 router default SSID names are:
–
11N SSID.
NETGEAR-DualBand-N
–
11G SSID.
NETGEAR-2.4-G
These SSIDs are broadcast by the router so that nearby wireless devices can discover your
network. You can disable this broadcast as described in
“Viewing Advanced Wireless
Settings” on page 2-11
.
