3. Note that the default SSID is NETGEAR.
Note: The SSID of any wireless adapters must match the SSID you configure in the
router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection.

5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Note: If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer and you change the
router's SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings
of your computer to match the router's new settings.
6. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity.
Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same wireless network name
(SSID) as the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address
by DHCP from the router.

Implement Appropriate Wireless Security

Warning: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks at a
maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside
of your immediate area to access your network.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and
can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of
your wireless equipment. The router provides highly effective security features which are covered
in detail in full reference manual that is available from a link on the CD as well as a link in the
main menu of your router. Follow the instructions in the full manual and in the router help screens
to deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
