v1.0, November 2007
To set up and test basic wireless connectivity:
1. Log in to the wireless router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.1.1 with the default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings under Setup in the main menu.
3. Note that the default SSID (service set identification key) is NETGEAR.
4. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.
5. To save your changes, click Apply.
6. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity.
Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same wireless network name
(SSID) as the wireless router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP
address by DHCP from the router.
To change modes if you notice interference:
You might notice interference from nearby devices, such as another router. By default, your
WNDR3300 router is set to: Up to 270Mbps at 5GHz & 54Mbps at 2.4GHz, which provides the
best operation for most situations. There are 4 wireless mode combinations available for the
WNDR3300 router. To select another mode that might improve your wireless communications, do
the following:
1. Log in to the wireless router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.1.1 with the default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings under Setup in the main menu.
3. Select a wireless mode:
The SSID of any wireless adapters must match the SSID you configure in the
wireless router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection.
If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer and you change the
router’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection
when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer
to match the router’s new settings.
