WiFi connection using WPS
You can connect to the router’s WiFi network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or you
can find and select the WiFi network.
To use WPS to connect to the WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2.
Check the WPS instructions for your computer or WiFi device.
3. Press the Sync button on the router.
4. Within two minutes, on your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, press its WPS
button or follow its instructions for WPS connections.
Your computer or mobile device connects to the WiFi network.
Types of logins
Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand
the difference so that you know which login to use when.
Types of logins:
•
Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you
logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider gave you this login
information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information,
contact your service provider.
•
WiFi network key or password. Your router and satellite are preset with the same
WiFi network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the
router label and the satellite label.
•
Router login. This logs you in to the router interface from a web browser as admin.
Use a web browser to access the router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can
use a web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. The first time you
access the router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your
router can connect to your Internet service.
