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
label 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.
Write the WiFi settings here for easy reference:
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
1. Open the soware utility that manages your WiFi connections on the
computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Find and select your router’s WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the product label.
3. 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.
4. Repeat Step 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.
1. Press the WPS button on the router.
2. 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.
3. Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices to the
network.
