WiFi Network Name and Password
The preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network key) are unique to your router, like a serial number. Because the router automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need to set it up. The WiFi settings are on the white label on the router.
NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can check the label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store them in a safe place.
Find the preset WiFi settings on your router and record them here:

If you change the WiFi settings, write the new settings here for easy reference and store this booklet in a safe place.
