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 router label. NETGEAR
recommends that you use the preset security but you can change the password. 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.
In the address field of the web browser, enter www.routerlogin.net or
www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4.
Select Wireless.
5.
Under Security Options, select a WPA option:
•
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.
6.
In the Passphrase field, enter the network key (password) that you want to use.
It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.
7.
Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future reference.
8.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
