Basic Wireless Settings - NETGEAR D6300 User Manual

Basic Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.
The WiFi DSL Modem Router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network
name (SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in
the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the bottom of the unit.
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security
decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in
a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the WiFi modem router.
