NETGEAR, Inc. wireless adapters display a list of available wireless networks, and, when
wireless security is disabled, you simply choose yours from the list and connect.
For a non-NETGEAR wireless adapter, configure it to match your settings exactly. If you
changed the default Network Name (SSID), be sure to use the correct Network Name (SSID)
you set in the wireless router.
Warning: The Network Name (SSID) is case sensitive. Typing nETgear will not work.
2. VERIFY WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Verify wireless connectivity. Connect to the Internet or log in to the wireless router from a
computer with a wireless adapter. For wireless connectivity problems, see “Troubleshooting
