Planning Your Wireless Network
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel
and region must 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 must know the following:
– SSID. The default 11N SSID for the modem router is NETGEAR-DualBand-N. The
default 11G SSID is NETGEAR-2.4-G.
– The wireless mode (802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports.
– Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each
wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.
See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 2-5.
• Push 'N' Connect (WPS) automatically implements wireless security on the modem router
while, at the same time, allowing you to automatically implement wireless security on any
WPS-enabled devices (such as wireless computers and wireless adapter cards). You activate
WPS by pressing a WPS button on the modem router, clicking an onscreen WPS button, or
entering a PIN number. This generates a new SSID and implements WPA/WPA2 security.
To set up your wireless network using the WPS feature:
– Use the modem router dome, which works as a WPS button (there is also an onscreen
WPS button), or enter the PIN of the wireless device.
– Make sure that all wireless computers and wireless adapters on the network are
Wi-Fi
certified and WPA or WPA2 capable, and that they support WPS configuration.
See “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-12.
Note: NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) standard (for more information, see http://www.wi-fi.org). All other Wi-
Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR
products that implement Push 'N' Connect.
