WiFi Network Name and Password

label on the product label.

The SSID is on the product label.

it) and click the Connect button.
The password is on the product label.

NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you
can check the label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change
these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store
them in a safe place.
Write the WiFi settings here for easy reference:
