Setting Your SSID and Wireless Security Manually To specify the wireless settings, you must know the following: • SSID. The default SSID for the router is NETGEAR. • The wireless mode (802.11g/b or 802.11n) that each wireless adapter supports. • Wireless security option. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports. To set up basic wireless connectivity: 1. Log in to the Router by going to http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com and entering the default user name admin and default password password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. On the main menu, select Wireless Settings to display the Wireless Settings screen. Note that the default SSID is NETGEAR. The SSID of any wireless adapters must match the SSID you configure in the wireless router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection. 3. Set the Region. Select the region where the router is located. 4. Leave the wireless mode at its default setting. 5. Click Apply to save your changes. To set up your computers for wireless connectivity: 1. Program the wireless settings of each computer or wireless adapter to have the same SSID (wireless network name) as the router. 2. Check that the wireless adapter on each computer can support the mode and security option that you selected. (If you have a question, see the online User Manual or review the settings you selected previously). 3. Check that the security settings on each wireless device match the security settings of the router. For example, if you selected a security option requiring a passphrase, then the same passphrase must be used for each wireless computer. Configuring Your Wireless Network 22
