D6200 WiFi Modem Router
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you do
decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in
a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security
settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the WiFi modem router.
 To view or change basic wireless settings:
1. On the Basic Home screen, select W
ireless to display the Wireless Settings screen.
The screen sections, settings, and procedures are explained in the following sect
ions.
2. Make any necessary changes,
and click Apply to save your settings.
3. Set up and test your wireless devices and computers
to make sure that they can connect
wirelessly. If they do not, check the following:
• Is your wireless de
vice or computer conne
cted to your network or another wireless
network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open
network (without wireless security) that they discover.
• Does your wireless de
vice or computer show up on the Attached Devices screen? If it
does, then it is connected to the network.
• If you are no
t sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on
the bottom of your WiFi modem router.
