What to do if I cannot connect to NETGEAR C6300BD Gateway over WiFi?
If you're having trouble connecting to your NETGEAR Gateway via WiFi, ensure that the WiFi settings on your device and the gateway match exactly. The WiFi network name (SSID) and security settings must be identical. Also, verify your device supports the security type you're using (WPA2-PSK [AES] or WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]). Ensure the gateway isn't too far from or too close to your device (at least 6 feet away), and that no objects are blocking the WiFi signal. Check that the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz LED is on, indicating the WiFi radio is enabled. If the SSID broadcast is disabled, you'll need to manually enter the network name and password. If you're using a WiFi access list, add your device's MAC address. Finally, confirm your device is set to receive an IP address automatically via DH...
