Basic Wireless Settings - NETGEAR N300 User Manual

• Service Name (If Required). If your ISP provided a service name, enter it here.
• Connection Mode. Always On, Dial on Demand, or Manually Connect.
• Idle Timeout (In minutes). If you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in
minutes. This setting determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active
after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means never
log out.
• Internet IP Address. Select one of these options:
- Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP
automatically assigns these addresses.
- Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP's router to which your router
will connect.
• Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. The DNS server is used to look up site
addresses based on their names.
- Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your
ISP automatically assigns this address.
- Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select
this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
• Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address that the router uses on its Internet
port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer
when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that
computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer's MAC address (this
feature is also called cloning). Select one of these options:
- Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
- Use Computer MAC Address. The router captures and uses the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is allowed by
the ISP.
- Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.

Basic Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.
The 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 product label of the unit.
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
unit to protect and maximize your wireless security.
