Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Travel Router WGR101

Note: The SSID is case sensitive; NETGEAR-TRAVEL is not the same as nETgear. Also, the

SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the 54 Mbps

Wireless Travel Router WGR101. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection

to the WGR101.

Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.

Set the Channel. The default channel is 11.

This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to

change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby

wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless

networks within several hundred feet of your WGR101. For more information on the wireless

channel frequencies please refer to

For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to "Everyone" and

the Encryption Strength set to "Disabled."

Click Apply to save your changes.

Note: If you are configuring the WGR101 from a wireless computer and you change the

WGR101's SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection

when you click on Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer

to match the WGR101's new settings.

Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity.

Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you

configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP

address by DHCP from the WGR101.

Warning: The Wireless Network Name (SSID) is case sensitive. If NETGEAR-TRAVEL is

the Wireless Network Name (SSID) in your wireless travel router, you must enter

NETGEAR-TRAVEL in your computer's wireless settings. Entering nETgear-tRAVEL, for

example, will not work.

Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the WGR101, then you can configure the

advanced wireless security functions of the WGR101.
