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 on the label on the bottom of the product.

NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preset SSID or password. If you do change the settings, the information on the bottom of the product does not apply.
