How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity

Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WPA settings, you will be disconnected
when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the new
settings or access the wireless router from a wired computer to make any further
changes.
Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have
established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.
1. Log in to the WNR834M firewall at its default LAN address of
http://192.168.1.1) with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or
using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.
2. Click Wireless Settings in the main menu of the WNR834M firewall.

3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box,
enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is NETGEAR.
Note: The SSID is case sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the
SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in
the RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router WNR834M. If they do not match, you
will not get a wireless connection to the WNR834M.
