AC1600 WiFi Cable Modem Router Manage the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network The modem 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. The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and maximize your WiFi security. You can find the preset SSID and password on the product label (see Product Label on page 23). IMPORTANT: NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store the note in a safe place where you can easily find it.

The modem router simultaneously supports the 2.4 GHz band for 802.11b/g/n devices and the 5 GHz band for 802.11a/n/ac devices.
