•Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless network (WPA or WPA2)?
•If you want to view the wireless settings for the wireless modem router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN port on the wireless modem router. Then log in to the wireless modem router and select Setup > Wireless Settings see (Basic Wireless Settings on page 34).
Note: Be sure to click Apply if you made changes.
Wireless Signal Strength
If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these conditions:
•Is your wireless modem router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the wireless modem router, but at least 6 feet away, and see whether the signal strength improves.
•Is your wireless signal blocked by objects between the wireless modem router and your computer?
Restore the Factory Settings and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory settings, changing the wireless modem router’s administration password back to password. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
•Use the Erase function of the wireless modem router (see Erase on page 93).
•Use the Restore Factory Settings button on the back of the wireless modem router. See Factory Settings on page 149. If you restore the factory settings and the wireless modem router fails to restart, or the green Power LED continues to blink, the unit might be defective. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support at http://www.netgear.com/support.
Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility
Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.
