For more information about security, see the Reference Manual that is available from a link on the Resource CD as well as a link in the main menu of your router. 3. While the push-button light is blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are trying to connect with the router. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs: • WPS is enabled between the router and the other device you are connecting to. • The 2-minute window period expires for establishing a WPS connection. Whether or not a connection is established, your router security and SSID (service set identification key) are now configured for WPS. The push-button remains lit to show you have enabled WPS security. 4. If after enabling WPS you need to connect a device that does not include WPS functionality, you will need to first log in to the router and obtain the security key. For more information, refer to “Configuring Security Through the Wireless Settings” and the online Reference Manual, available as a link on the Resource CD. 5. If you want to disable WPS, you have to reset your router to factory default settings. For information about resetting to the default settings, see “Restoring the Default User Name and Password” on page 38. Configuring Security Through the Wireless Settings To set up wireless connectivity and enable wireless security: 1. Log in to the router at with its default user name of admin and default password of password. (If you have changed the User Name and Password from the defaults, use what you have set up). Manually Installing Your Router 2. Select Wireless Settings under Setup on the main menu. The Wireless Settings screen will display showing the default wireless network settings for this router. (Use the help screens or the online User Manual if you require assistance to change your wireless settings.) The Service Set Identifier (SSID) of any wireless adapter, which is the device’s wireless network name, must match the SSID you configured in the router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection. 3. Select a Security Option. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you implement security on your wireless network. Follow the instructions in the User Manual or the router help screens if you need help setting up the security feature appropriate to your needs. 4. Click Apply to save your settings. If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer and you change the router’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change your computer’s wireless settings to match the router’s new settings. Setting Up Your Wireless Computers Once you have set up your router, you are ready to configure your wireless computers with the same settings as those you configured on the router. For your wireless computers to work with the router, the settings of each wireless computer must match the wireless router’s settings exactly. To set up your computers for wireless connectivity: 1. Program the wireless adapter of each computer to have the same SSID (Wireless Network Name) as the router. 2. Check that the wireless adapter on each wireless computer can support the Mode and Security options that you selected. (If you have a question, see the online User Manual or review the settings you selected in “Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security Options” on page 23). To ensure optimum performance of your high-speed wireless router, each computer’s wireless adapter card should support the same technology as your router (see the online User Manual for more information). Manually Installing Your Router 3. Check that the security settings on each wireless device match the security settings of the router. For example, if you selected a Security option requiring a passphrase, then the same passphrase must be used for each wireless computer. 4. Check that each wireless computer has a wireless link and is able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the router. For a Windows PC, go to the Control Panel and select Network Connections. Check the Wireless Connections Properties and ensure that TCP/IP Properties are set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.” Manually Installing Your Router Manually Installing Your Router Troubleshooting If you have difficulties accessing the Internet, use the Basic Setup Checklist to make sure that you have connected and set up your router correctly.
