Specify Basic WiFi Settings

The modem router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name
(SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the
factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the modem router label. The preset
SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to maximize your wireless
security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security
your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store the note in a safe
place where you can easily find it.
