Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The router comes with preset security. This 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 product label.
Note:
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your WiFi security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings
.
If you change
your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place
where you can easily find it.
If you use a WiFi device to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this
problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the router.
