Change The Wifi Security Option - NETGEAR JNR1010v2 User Manual

If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:
• Is your computer or wireless device connected to another wireless network in your
area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without
wireless security that they discover.
• Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your
network.

Change the WiFi Security Option

Your router comes with preset WPA2 or WPA security. The password that you enter to
connect to your network is unique to your router and is on the product label. NETGEAR
recommends that you use the preset security, but you can change them. NETGEAR
recommends that you do not disable security.

To change the WPA settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.

• WPA-PSK [TKIP]
• WPA2-PSK [AES]
• WPA-PSK [TKIP} + WPA2-PSK [AES]
• WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security, but some older
computers and wireless devices cannot use WPA2. By default, the WPA-PSK [TKIP] +
WPA2-PSK [AES] radio button is selected so that new or old computers and wireless
devices can connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or WPA security.
The Passphrase field displays.
