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:

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.

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.
