You need to change the channel only if you have interference problems with another
nearby wireless router or access point. If this is the case, select a channel that is not being
used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your wireless router.
For a link to more information on the wireless channel frequencies, see
Communications" in Appendix
• Mode. The data communications protocol that the router will use. You can select Auto
108 Mbps, g only, or g and b. The g only option dedicates the wireless router to
communicating with the higher bandwidth 802.11g wireless devices exclusively. The g
and b mode provides backward compatibility with the slower 802.11b wireless devices
while still enabling 802.11g communications. The Auto 108 Mbps mode works with
802.11g, 802.11b, and NETGEAR 108 Mbps devices.
• Security Options: For initial set up and test, leave or set Security Options to None. For
more information about Security Options, see
page 2-6.

Set up the wireless adapter for each computer that will connect to the router with the same
SSID and wireless channel as the router. The SSID for the wireless adapters must match the
SSID for the router or you will not get a wireless connection.
Test each computer to make sure that it can connect wirelessly to the router and is able to obtain an
IP address by DHCP from the wireless router.
After your computers can connect wirelessly to the wireless router, then you can set up wireless
security for your network.
