Note: The SSID is case-sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you specify in the WNR1000v3h2 router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the WNR1000v3h2 router.

4.For the remaining settings, accept the defaults.

• The default channel is Auto.

It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your router. For more information about the wireless channel frequencies, click the link to the online document Wireless Networking Basics in Appendix B.

•The default mode of Up to 72 Mbps. The options are:

-Up to 54 Mbps – Legacy Mode – Maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks.

-Up to 72 Mbps – Neighbor Friendly Mode – Will not interfere with neighboring wireless networks.

-Up to 150 Mbps – Performance Mode – Maximum Wireless-N speed up to 150 Mbps.

•The default Security Options is None.

5.Click Apply to save your changes.

Note: If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer and you change the router’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the router’s new settings.

6.Select Wireless Settings under Advanced in the main menu of the WNR1000v3h2 router.
