Preset Wireless Security

This product has a unique WiFi Network Name (SSID) and Network Key
(Password). The default SSID and network key (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 WiFi Network Name
(SSID) and Network Key (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 it here:

WiFi Network Name (SSID) _______________________________

Network Key (Password) ________________________________

If you change the preset wireless settings, record it here:

Wireless Network Name (SSID) _______________________________

Network Key (Password) _____________________________________

If needed, 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.

Connect Wireless Devices to Your Router

Choose either the manual or WiFi 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, 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 preset WiFi Network Name (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 (WiFi 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. Then:

1. Press the WPS button on the router. It will look something like this .

2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the client side, 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 will not work.

Troubleshooting

The browser cannot display the web page.

• Make sure the PC is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, or

wirelessly to the router.

• Make sure the router is fully up and running. Its wireless LED should turn on.

• Close and re-open the browser to make sure the browser doesn’t cache the

previous page.

• Browse to http://routerlogin.net

• If the PC is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change it to

obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
