manual abstract
1. For a list of other Wi-Fi-certified products available from NETGEAR, go to Configuring Your Wireless Network 3. While the WPS LED is blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are connecting to. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs: • WPS has enabled security between the router and the other device.The router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including a PSK security password) on the router and has sent this configuration to the wireless client. • If you do not establish a connection using WPS during this 2-minute interval, your router security and SSID (wireless network name) will be restored to the default settings (router security will be set to None). The WPS LED will stop blinking or turn off, depending on whether the wireless device has connected successfully. 4. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N600 wireless gigabit router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox. If you are planning a mixed network of WPS capable devices and non-WPS capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable devices. For more information about setting up your wireless network and configuring your wireless security settings, see the User Manual. A link to the online User Manual is on your Resource CD. Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity Once you have established basic wireless connectivity and enabled security settings appropriate to your needs, you can test connectivity between devices connected to your router. To test basic wireless connectivity: 1. Log in to the N600 wireless gigabit router at using the default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Select Wireless Settings from the main menu of the N600 wireless gigabit router. Configuring Your Wireless Network 3. Note your SSID name. If you used WPS to establish a connection with other devices, the SSID will now be a randomly selected name. The SSID of any wireless adapters or wireless devices connected to your router must match the SSID you configured in the N600 wireless gigabit router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection. 4. Make sure that you have selected the region in which the wireless router will operate. 5. Check the Wireless mode. The default is Up to 300Mbps at 5GHz & 145Mbps at 2.4GHz. If you are experiencing interference, try selecting one of the other available settings (see “Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security Options” on page 20). 6. Check your wireless security. If you used WPS to enable wireless security, your security will be set to WPA/WPA2 with a randomly-selected PSK security password. 7. Click Apply to save any changes. 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 the wireless settings of your computer to match the router’s new settings. 8. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity. Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same wireless network name (SSID) as the N600 wireless gigabit router and the same wireless security as your N600 wireless gigabit router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the router. Your N600 wireless gigabit router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your N600 wireless gigabit router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer or login application such as Dial-Up Networking or Enternet to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed automatically by the N600 wireless gigabit router as needed. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N600 wireless gigabit router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. For more information on setting up your wireless network and configuring your wireless security settings, see the User Manual. A link to the online User Manual is on your Resource CD.
