4. Select Wireless.
The Wireless settings for the Wireless 1 network display on the page.
5. To change the admin network name (SSID), type a new name in the Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID
is randomly generated and is on the router label. If you change the name, make sure
to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place.
6.
To change the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi channel, select a number from the Channel
menus.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless
you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If
this happens, experiment with different channels to see which channel works bets
for your.
When you use multiple routers, satellites, or extenders in your network (access
points), you experience less interference if adjacent access points use different. The
recommended channel spacing NETGEAR recommends a minimum of four channels
between adjacent access points (for example, use channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
7.
To change the VLAN profile, select the VLAN Profile check box, and select a VLAN
profile from the menu.
By default, the VLAN profile is set to Default(2) for the Wireless 1 network.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The router sends the new settings to the satellite.
If you are using a WiFi connection and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected
from the network.
9. Make sure that you can connect to the WiFi network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect using WiFi, check the following:
•
Is your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi
network in your area? Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open
network without WiFi security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or WiFi device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network
selection in your computer or WiFi device to match the current settings for your
network.
