N300 Wireless Router
You can find the preset SSID and password on the 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 router.
