Setting Up Your Wireless Network
To set up the wireless network, you can enter wireless settings, (see “Manually Configuring
Wireless Settings” on page 11) or you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), described in
“Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup” on page 13. To wirelessly connect to the
gateway, a computer or wireless device must be configured with the same wireless settings
as the gateway.
• The default wireless network name (SSID) for the gateway is Wireless. NETGEAR
recommends that you change this for better wireless security and to make it easier to
recognize your network when you want to connect to it wirelessly.
• By default the gateway works with WPA and WPA 2 wireless security. The default
passphrase is the last 6 digits of the Wi-Fi MAC address.
• To use Push 'N' Connect (WPS), your wireless computers and equipment must support
WPS technology. See “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup” on page 13.
