NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you change
your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place
where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click
Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the modem router.
 To view or change basic wireless settings:
1. Select Basic > W
ireless.
The screen sections, settings, and procedures are explained in the following sections.
2. Make any changes that are needed.
3. Click Appl.
Your settings are saved.
If you were connected wirelessly to the modem router and you changed the SSID or
wireless security
, you are disconnected from the network.
4. Set up and test your wireless devices and computers to make sure that they can connect
wirelessly. If they do not, check the following:
• 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, 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 modem router.
