WiFi Network Name and Password
This router has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key
(password). The default SSID and password are uniquely generated for
every device (like a serial number) to protect and maximize your WiFi
security. This information is located on the product label.
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 WiFi settings on your router and record them here:
WiFi network name (SSID) _______________________________
Network key (password) _________________________________
If you change the preset WiFi settings, record them here:
WiFi network name (SSID) _______________________________
Network key (password) _________________________________
If necessary to retrieve or update your password, enter

for the

WPS Method
If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join
the router’s WiFi network. For help with the WPS button on the computer
or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came with that
computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note:
WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security,
use the manual method.

button on the back of the router with
the end of a paper clip or a similar object for one to three seconds.
