Wireless Network Configuration
2.
For a wireless connection, the SSID, (also known as the wireless network name), and the
wireless security settings must be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless
adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.
The router is pre-configured with WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode and uses a unique SSID
and passphrase. This information is printed on the label on the bottom of the router. Use this
information to setup your WiFi computer and devices.
This chapter addresses the following:
•
Planning Your Wireless Network
•
Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings
•
Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network
Note:
Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred
feet. If you do not use wireless security, this can allow others outside
your immediate area to access your network.
