Safeguarding Your Network
For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless
security setting must be the same for
the modem router and wireless computers or wireless
adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.
This chapter includes:
• “Planning Your Wireless Network
• “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 2-5
• “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-12
• “Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup” on page 2-18
• “Restricting Access to Your Modem Router” on page 2-20
• “Wireless Guest Networks” on page 2-22

Warning: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred feet. This can
allow others outside of your immediate area to access your network.
