For a new wireless network, print or copy this form and fill in the configuration parameters.
For an existing wireless network, print or copy this form and fill in the configuration parameters.
The person who set up or is responsible for the network will be able to provide this information.
• SSID: The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network.
NETGEAR is the default FWAG114 SSID. However, you may customize it by using up
to 32 alphanumeric characters. NETGEAR recommends that you write your customized
SSID on the line below.
Note: The SSID in the firewall is the SSID you configure in the wireless adapter card. For
the access point and wireless nodes to communicate with each other, all must be
configured with the same SSID.
802.11a SSID: ______________________________
802.11b SSID: ______________________________
• Authentication
The authentication setting, “Open System” or “Shared Key,” is unrelated to encryption of
transmissions. The two bands can use different authentication settings. Choose “Shared
Key” for more security.
802.11a SSID, circle one: Open System or Shared Key
802.11b SSID, circle one: Open System or Shared Key
Note: If you select shared key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless
they are set to Shared Key as well.

802.11a and 802.11b differ in their use of WEP encryption keys. See
“Security
