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 and 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, enter
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 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 (smartphone, 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), which NETGEAR
calls Push 'N' Connect, you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the
router instead of entering a password. If this happens:
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 will not work.
ReadySHARE Printer
ReadySHARE Printer lets you connect a USB printer to the router’s USB port and
access it wirelessly. To set up this feature:
1. Connect the USB printer to the router’s USB port.
2. Download and install the NETGEAR USB Control Center utility at
http://www.netgear.com/landing/en-us/readyshare.aspx. You must install this
utility before you can use the ReadySHARE Printer feature.
3. Follow the instructions in the utility to connect to the printer.
