Instructions
For each powered-on computer connected to the N300 wireless

numbered router LAN port LED is on.
• For a wirelessly connected computer, the wireless network
name (SSID) and wireless security settings of the N300
wireless modem router and wireless computer need to match
exactly.
• If you set up an access list in the Advanced Wireless Settings
screen, you need to add each wireless computer's MAC
address to the N300 wireless modem router's access list.

The simplest way to ensure this is to configure each computer

MAC address of the computer initially registered on the
account. You can view the MAC address in the Attached
