Preset Wireless Security This product 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 wireless security. This information is located on the label on the bottom of the product. NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset SSID or password. If you do change the settings, the information on the bottom of the product does not apply. Find the preset wireless settings on your router and record them here: WiFi network name (SSID Network key (password If you change the preset wireless settings, record them here: Wireless network name (SSID Network key (password If necessary to retrieve or update your password, type http://www.routerlogin.net in a web browser, and log in using the default user name (admin) and password (password). Select Wireless Settings to locate your wireless password. July 2014 Connect Wireless Devices to Your Router Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to add wireless computers, and other devices to your wireless network. Manual Method 1. Open the software utility that manages your wireless connections on the wireless device that you want to connect to your router (iPhone, laptop, computer, or gaming device). This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area. 2. Look for the preset NETGEAR wireless network name (SSID), and select it. The SSID is located on the product label on the bottom of the router. Note: If you changed the name of your network during the setup process, look for that network name. 3. Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you changed it), and click Connect. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 to add other wireless devices. WPS Method If your wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)-NETGEAR calls this method Push 'N' Connect-you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the router instead of entering a password. If you are prompted to press the WPS button: 1. Press the WPS button on the router. 2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the client device, or follow the WPS instructions that came with your wireless device to complete the WPS process. The device will then be connected to your router. 3. Repeat this process to add other WPS wireless devices. Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a WEP client to your network using WPS, it does not work. Troubleshooting The browser cannot display the web page. • Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, or wirelessly to the router. • Make sure that the Wireless LED is lit. • Close and re-open the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the previous page. • Browse to http://www.routerlogin.net. • If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
