Preset Wireless Security This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password). The default SSID and network key (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 WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do change the settings, the security SSID and password on the bottom of the product no longer apply. Wireless Network Settings Record the default preset wireless settings that are printed on the label in the space below for easy reference. WiFi Network Name (SSID): Network Key (Password): If you change the default settings, record them here for easy reference, and then store this booklet in a safe place: WiFi Network Name (SSID): Network Key (Password): To retrieve or update your wireless password, type 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. Add Wireless Devices to the Network Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to add wireless computers and other devices to your wireless network.

On the wireless device that you want to connect to your router (iPhone, laptop, computer, gaming device), open the software utility that manages its wireless connections. This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area. 2. Look for the preset NETGEAR WiFi 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.
