NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. You can select a different Security Option and a different passphrase for each wireless network. For the highest performance of the 5 GHz wireless network and the most secure encryption, NETGEAR recommends that you use WPA2-PSK as your security option. 8. Click Apply to save your changes. 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. To set up your computers for wireless connectivity: 1. Program the wireless settings of each computer or wireless adapter to have the same SSID (wireless network name) as the router. 2. Check that the wireless adapter on each computer can support the mode and security option that you selected. (If you have a question, see the online User Manual or review the settings you selected in “Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security Options” on page 20). 3. Check that the security settings on each wireless device match the security settings of the router. For example, if you selected a security option requiring a passphrase, then the same passphrase must be used for each wireless computer. Configuring Your Wireless Network 4. Check that each wireless computer has a wireless link and is able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the router. For a Windows PC, go to the Control Panel and select Network Connections. Check the Wireless Connections Properties and ensure that TCP/IP Properties are set to Obtain an IP address automatically. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N600 wireless gigabit router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the N600 wireless gigabit router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure the router’s SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client securely and easily to the router. Look for the symbol on your client device.1 WPS automatically configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the router (if the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client. NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard. All other Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect. If the router has already been configured manually or by using the Smart Wizard, and any of these security options have been enabled (WEP with auto authentication, WPS-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or no security), a wireless client can be added to your network quickly and simply by using Push 'N' Connect. In this case, the existing wireless settings are broadcast to the WPS-capable client. (For more information on setting up a mixed network, see the online User Manual. A link to the User Manual is on the Resource CD.) The following instructions assume that you are configuring WPS on the router for the first time and connecting a WPS-capable device such as a wireless computer or wireless adapter. To connect a device using WPS: 1. Open the networking utility of the device you want to connect to that supports WPS. 1. For a list of other Wi-Fi-certified products available from NETGEAR, go to Configuring Your Wireless Network 2. Push the N600 wireless gigabit router’s WPS button, then release. The WPS LED will start to blink. 3. While the WPS LED is blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are connecting to. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs: • WPS has enabled security between the router and the other device.The router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including a PSK security password) on the router and has sent this configuration to the wireless client. • If you do not establish a connection using WPS during this 2-minute interval, your router security and SSID (wireless network name) will still be configured for WPA/WPA2 security. The WPS LED will stop blinking or turn off, depending on how you have them configured. 4. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N600 wireless gigabit router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox. You should see the N600 wireless gigabit router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. If you are planning a mixed network of WPS capable devices and non-WPS capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable devices.
