Select Get Dynamically From ISP. If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP has provided you with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address into the correct fields. For example: • IP Address. 24.218.156.183 • Subnet Mask. 255.255.255.0 • Gateway IP Address. 24.218.156.1 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names. • If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary addresses. • Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP. Note: If you get “Address not found” errors when you go to a website, it is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses. Router MAC Address Your computer's local address is its unique address on your network. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address. • Usually, select Use Default MAC Address. • If your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either Use Computer MAC Address to disguise the router's MAC address with the computer's own MAC address, or Use This MAC Address to manually type the MAC address for a different computer. The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value might be changed if Use Computer MAC Address is selected once a value has already been set in the Use This MAC Address selection. 3. The following buttons are available: • Apply. Apply the changes that you made. • Cancel. Discard changes. • Test. Connect to the NETGEAR website. If you connect successfully, your settings work, and you can click Logout to exit these screens. 2. Wireless Network Configuration2 For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless security settings must be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. Note: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred feet. If you do not use wireless security, this can allow others outside your immediate area to access your network. Planning Your Wireless Network For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region must be set correctly. To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security. • To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following: -SSID. The default SSID for the router is NETGEAR-3G. -The wireless mode (80.211n, 802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports. -Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports. See Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings on page 27. • Push 'N' Connect (WPS) implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security on the router and your wireless computer or device at the same time. The wireless computer or device must be compatible with WPS. See Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network on page 31. Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices. For best results, place your router according to the following guidelines: • Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate. • In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-of-sight access (even if through walls). • Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones (see Interference Reduction Table on page 104). • Away from large metal surfaces. • Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage. • If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer. Wireless Security Options Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside 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 compat...
