Setting Up Your Wireless Network
To set up the wireless network, you can enter wireless settings, (see
Manually Configuring
Wireless Settings
on page
13) or you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), described in
Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup
on page
15. To wirelessly connect to the
gateway, a computer or wireless device must be configured with the same wireless settings
as the gateway.
•
The default wireless network name (SSID) for the gateway is Wireless. NETGEAR
recommends that you change this for better wireless security and to make it easier to
recognize your network when you want to connect to it wirelessly.
•
By default the gateway works with WPA and WPA 2 wireless security. The default
passphrase is shown on the product label.
•
To use Push 'N' Connect (WPS), your wireless computers and equipment must support
WPS technology. See
Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup
