N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL Modem Router DGND4000

•Is your wireless device or computer connected to your network or another wireless network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network (without wireless security) that they discover.

•Does your wireless device or computer show up on the Attached Devices screen? If it does, then it is connected to the network.

•If you are not sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on the bottom of your wireless modem router.

Wireless Settings Screen Fields

Region. The location where the wireless modem router is used. Select from the countries in the list. In the United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable.

Wireless Network

Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and 5-GHz a/n bands.

Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this.

Channel. This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1 through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (when indicated by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this interference happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.

Mode. Up to 130 Mbps is the default and allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps. The 300 Mbps setting allows 802.11n devices to connect at this speed.

Enable SSID Broadcast. This setting allows the wireless modem router to broadcast its SSID so wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box, and click Apply.

Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or access Ethernet devices on the network.
