Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity

established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.

user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the router.
3. Note that the default SSID is NETGEAR.

For Advanced Users Only! If you are using the Microsoft Vista OS, you can elect
to use Windows Connect Now to implement WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and
configure the SSID and WPA security password for your router. You will be
prompted for your security PIN number which is on the label on the bottom of your
router. To configure other router settings, access the router interface following the
steps below; or see the Reference Manual for your router.
This feature is available only if the router is in its default state or if the “allow a
registrar to configure this router” radio box has been checked.
Note: The SSID of any wireless adapters must match the SSID you configure in the
router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection.
