Select Get Dynamically From ISP. If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP has provided you with the required information.
2. Wireless Network Configuration 2 For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless security settings have to be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Plan Your Wireless Network For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region have to be set correctly. To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security. • To manually configure the wireless settings, you need to know the following: - SSID.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Wireless Security Options Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access your network. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or wireless security, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable while you are making changes. To view or manually configure the wireless settings: 1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 12. 2.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Set up your wireless computers with the same SSID and wireless security settings as your router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the router. If there is interference, adjust the channel.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Configure WEP Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless computer to match the new settings, or access the router from a wired computer to make further changes. To configure WEP data encryption: 1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 12. 2.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 7. Select which of the four keys will be the default. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can be used only to decrypt received data. The four entries are disabled if WPA-PSK or WPA authentication is selected. 8. Click Apply to save your settings. Configure WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 Both WPA and WPA2 provide strong data security.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 • If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS-capable devices and non-WPS-capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding WPS-capable devices. WPS Button Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute time frame, the SSID does not change, and no security is set up. WPS PIN Entry Any wireless computer or device that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The client has to support a WPS PIN, and has to have a WPS configuration utility, such as the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to type or remember (that is one reason why the network is so secure). You can change the wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. If you do that, then you will need to set up the WPS-compatible computers again. Note: Making these changes will cause all wireless computers to be disconnected from network.
NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310 To set up a wireless guest network: 1. Select Setup > Guest Network. 2. You can specify whether the SSID broadcast is enabled and whether you want to allow guests to access your local network. You can also change the SSID. • NETGEAR strongly recommends that you change the SSID to a different name. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive. For example, GuestNetwork is not the same as Guestnetwork.
