Manual Method - NETGEAR WNDRMAC Installation Manual

Preconfigured Wireless Security
This product has a unique WiFi Network Name (SSID) and Network Key
(Password). The default SSID and network key (password) are uniquely generated
for every device (like a serial number), to protect and maximize your wireless
security. This information is located on the label on the bottom of the product.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the preconfigured WiFi Network
Name (SSID) and Network Key (Password). If you do change the settings, the
information on the bottom of the product does not apply.
Find the preconfigured Wireless Settings on your router and record it here:
WiFi Network Name (SSID) _______________________________
Network Key (Password) ________________________________
If you change the preconfigured wireless settings, record it here:
Wireless Network Name (SSID) _______________________________
Network Key (Password) _____________________________________
If needed, to retrieve or update your password, type
in a web browser and log in using the default user name
(password).
Select Wireless Settings to locate your wireless password.
Connect Wireless Devices to Your Router
Choose either the manual or WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) method to add wireless
computers, and other devices to your wireless network.

Manual Method

1. Open the software utility that manages your wireless connections on the
wireless device that you want to connect to your router (iPhone, laptop,
computer, gaming device). This utility scans for all wireless networks in your
area.
2. Look for the preconfigured NETGEAR wireless network Name (SSID), and
select it. The preconfigured WiFi Network Name (SSID) is located on the
product label on the bottom of the router.
Note: If you changed the name of your network during the setup process, look
for that network name.
3. Enter the preconfigured password (or your custom password if you changed
it), and click Connect.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 to add other wireless devices.
WPS Method
If your wireless device supports WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)—NETGEAR calls this
method Push 'N' Connect—you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the
router instead of entering a password. Then:
1. Press the WPS button on the router. It will look something like this
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the client side, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with your wireless device to complete the WPS process.
The device will then be connected to your router.

Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a WEP client
to your network using WPS, it will not work.

Troubleshooting
The browser cannot display the web page.
• Make sure the PC is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, or
wirelessly to the router.
• Make sure the router is fully up and running. Its wireless LED should turn on.
• Close and re-open the browser to make sure the browser doesn't cache the
previous page.
• Browse to http://routerlogin.net
• If the PC is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is uncommon), change it to
obtain an IP address automatically from the router.
