Preset Wireless Security
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset SSID or
password. If you do change the settings, the information on the product
label does not apply.
Find the preset wireless settings on your router and record them here:
WiFi network name (SSID) _______________________________

Join the Router’s WiFi Network
To connect your computer or wireless device (such as a smart phone or
gaming device) and join the router’s WiFi network, you can use either the
manual method or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Manual Method
1.
Open the software utility that manages your wireless connections on
the computer or wireless device that you want to connect to your
router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2.
Find and select your wireless network name (SSID).
The SSID is located on the product label.
3.
Enter the network key (password).
The password is located on the product label.
4.
Click the
Connect
button.
WPS Method
If your computer or wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup),
you can use WPS to join the router’s WiFi network. NETGEAR calls WPS
Push ‘N’ Connect.
Note:
WPS does not support WEP security. You cannot use WPS to
connect a WEP client to the router’s WiFi network.
To use WPS to join the router’s WiFi network:
1.
Press and hold the
WPS/Reset
button on the back of the router with
the end of a paper clip or a similar object for one to three seconds.
The WiFi LED
blinks.
2.
Within two minutes, press the
WPS
button on the computer or
wireless device.
The computer or wireless device connects to the router’s WiFi
network.
Note:
For help with the WPS button on the computer or wireless
device, check the instructions or online help that came with that
computer or wireless device.
Reset Router to Factory Settings
