Configuring Your Wireless Network 21

Configuring Your Wireless Network

After installing your router, you must log into the router to complete your wireless setup. The

wireless network settings of the router must match the wireless network settings of any wireless

devices that connect wirelessly to the router (such as wireless adapter cards and wireless

computers).

For a wireless connection, the router and each wireless computer must use the same SSID,

also called the wireless network name, and the same wireless security. NETGEAR strongly

recommends that you use wireless security.

Specifying Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen lets you set your wireless network connections and the wireless

security option for your network and router. To configure the wireless network, you can either

manually specify your network name (SSID) and your wireless security settings (see “Setting Your

SSID and Wireless Security Manually” on page 22) or, if the clients in your network are WPS

capable, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement

WPA/WPA2 security on both the router and the client device (see “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS)

to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 23).

For a complete overview of all the security configurations that can be implemented on this router,

see the on-line Reference Manual. A link to the Reference Manual is on the Resource CD.

Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at a range of several hundred

feet. This can allow others outside of your immediate area to access your network.

If you configure 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. To avoid this situation, you can use a computer that is

connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
