Wireless Network Configuration

NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310

Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to

type or remember (that is one reason why the network is so secure). You can change the

wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. If you do that, then you will

need to set up the WPS-compatible computers again.

Note: Making these changes will cause all wireless computers to be

disconnected from network. You will then have to set them up with

the new wireless settings.

 To change wireless settings for the network:

1. Use an

Ethernet cable to connect a computer to the router. That way you will not get

disconnected when you change the wireless settings.

2. Log

in to the router and select Wireless Settings (see Manually Configure Your Wireless

Settings on p

age 26).

3. Make the fo

llowing changes:

• Chan

ge the wireless network name (SSID) to a meaningful name.

• On the

WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase.

• M

ake sure that the Keep Wireless Settings check box is selected in the WPS

Settings screen so that your new settings will not be erased if you use WPS.

4. Click Apply

so that your changes take effect. Write down your settings.

All existing wireless clients are disassociated

and disconnected from the router.

5. Fo

r the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow

the utility’s instructions to enter the security settings that you selected in Step 3 (the SSID,

WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).

6. Fo

r the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedure in WPS Button on

page 30 or WPS PIN Entry on p

age 31.

The settings that you configured in Step 3 are br

oadcast to the WPS devices so that they

can connect to the router.

Wireless Guest Network

A wireless guest network allows you to provide guests access to your wireless network

without prior authorization of each individual guest. You can a configure wireless guest

network and specify the security options for your guest network.
