Placement of the Router to Optimize Wireless Connectivity
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary based on the physical
placement of the router. For best results, place your router:
•
Near the center of the area in which your computers operate.
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf.
•
Away from potential sources of interference, such as computers, microwave ovens, and
cordless phones.
•
Away from large metal surfaces.
Note:
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant
performance degradation or inability to connect wirelessly to the
gateway.
Wireless Screen
The Wireless screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.
The wireless cable gateway comes with preset security. This feature means that the WiFi
network name (SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are
preset in the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the bottom of the unit.
Note:
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings
.
If you do
decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in
a safe place.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the gateway.
