Problems with Date and Time
Under Security in the main menu, select E-mail to display a screen that shows the current date and
time of day. The Dual Band Wireless-N Modem Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to
obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the
log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include
the following:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your
Internet access is configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait
at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not adjust for daylight savings time. In the E-mail screen, select the
Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
Wireless Connectivity
To add a wireless computer to an existing wireless network, you must set up its wireless card to
match the modem router’s settings. You can use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) (“Connecting Additional
Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup” on page 2-14) if your computer supports it. You can
also manually configure the computer’s wireless settings.
When you install a NETGEAR wireless card in your computer, a Smart Wizard is installed that can
provide helpful information about your wireless network. You can find this program in your
Windows Program menu or as an icon in your system tray. Other wireless card manufacturers
might include a similar program.
If you have no specific wireless card setup program installed, you can use the basic setup utility in
Windows by following these steps:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel, and double-click Network Connections.
2. In the LAN section, double-click Wireless Network Connection.
Note: If you are installing the modem router and have not yet set up a wireless
connection, see Chapter 2, “Safeguarding Your Network”or the Modem Router
Setup Manual.
