Setting Your SSID and Wireless Security Manually
To specify the wireless settings, you must know the following:

SSID. The default SSID for the router is NETGEAR.
•
The wireless mode (802.11g/b, or 802.11n) that each wireless adapter supports.
•
Wireless security option. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. To
successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless adapter to determine which
wireless security option it supports.
