WiFi Network Name and Password
The preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network key) are unique to
your router, like a serial number. Because the router automatically uses WiFi
security, you don’t need to set it up. The WiFi settings are on the product
label.
NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can check the label if you forget them. NETGEAR genie lets you change these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and store them in a safe place.
Find the preset WiFi settings on your router and record them here:
- WiFi network name (SSID)
- Network key (password)
If you change the WiFi settings, write the new settings here for easy reference and store this booklet in a safe place.
- WiFi network name (SSID)
- Network key (password)
Join the WiFi Network
To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming device) to your router’s WiFi network, you can use either the manual method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.
Manual Method
- Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections on the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your router. This utility scans all wireless networks in your area.
- Find and select your router’s WiFi network name (SSID). The SSID is on the product label.
- Enter the router’s password (or your custom password if you changed it) and click the Connect button. The password is on the product label.
- Repeat Steps 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices.
WPS Method
If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join the modem router’s WiFi network. For help with the WPS button on your computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came with that computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security, use the manual method.
- Press the WPS button on the router.
- Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its WPS button or click its onscreen WPS button. The computer or WiFi device connects to your router’s WiFi network.
- Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices to the network.
