Configuring Your Wireless Network

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 wireless router.

Type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your browser, and then click
Enter.

When prompted, enter admin for the router user name and password for the router
password, both in lowercase letters.

2.

On the main menu, select Wireless Settings to display the Wireless Settings screen.

Note that the default SSID is NETGEAR.

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.

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.
