Configuring Your Wireless Network 23
Setting Your SSIDs and Wireless Security Manually
To specify the wireless settings, you must know the following:
• Name (11N SSID). The default is NETGEAR-DualBand-N.
• Name (11G SSID). The default is NETGEAR-2.4G.
• The wireless mode (802.11g/b, or 802.11n) that each wireless adapter supports. The default is
Up to 270 Mbps at 5 GHz and 54 Mbps at 2.4 GHz.
• Wireless security option. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. To
successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless adapter to determine which
wireless security option it supports.
To set up basic wireless connectivity:
1.
Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. On the main menu, select Wireless Settings to display the Wireless Settings screen.
Note that the default SSIDs are:
• Name (11N SSID). The default is NETGEAR-DualBand-N.
• Name (11G SSID). The default is NETGEAR-2.4G.
3. Set the Region. Select the region where the router is located.
4. Leave the wireless mode at the default setting of 54 Mbps.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
You can also enter either of these addresses to connect to your wireless router:
http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
The SSID of any wireless adapters must match the SSID you configure in the
modem router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection.
