Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity - NETGEAR WNDR3300f Setup Manual

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your wireless router, launch a browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the wireless router's Internet
LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.
If you are planning a mixed network of WPS capable devices and non-WPS capable
devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security
settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable
devices.
For more information about setting up your wireless network and configuring your wireless
security settings, see the User Manual. A link to the online User Manual is on your Resource CD.
If you want to disable WPS, you must reset your router to its factory default settings.
For information about resetting to the default settings, see
