N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3
Wireless Connectivity
If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem, as
follows:
•
Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?
If not, check the Wireless LED on the front of the router. It should be lit. If it is not, you can
use the NETGEAR genie to turn the router's wireless radio back on (see
Wireless Settings
If you disabled the router's SSID broadcast, then your wireless network is hidden and
does not show up in your wireless client's scanning list. By default, SSID broadcast is
enabled.
•
Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless
network (WPA or WPA2)?
•
If you want to view the wireless settings for the router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a
computer to a LAN port on the router. Then log in to the router, and select Wireless (see
Basic Wireless Settings
Note:
Be sure to click Apply to save your changes.
Wireless Signal Strength
If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these
conditions:
•
Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the
router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see whether the signal strength
improves.
•
Are objects between the router and your computer blocking your wireless signal?
