Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The modem router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name
(SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the
factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the modem router label. The preset
SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to maximize your wireless
security.
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 the note in a safe
place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the SSID or other wireless security settings, you
are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with
a wired connection to access the modem router.
