Wireless Network

Name (SSID)

The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. 
Enter a 32-character (maximum) name in this field. The 
characters are case-sensitive. 
In a setting where there is more than one wireless 
network, different wireless network names provide a 
means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to 
participate in a wireless network must use the SSID.

Region

Specify the region where the gateway will operate.

Channel

The wireless channel used by the gateway. The default 
is channel 1.
You should not need to change the wireless channel 
unless you experience interference (shown by lost 
connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this 
happen, you may need to experiment with different 
channels to see which is the best.

Security Options

You can manually configure wireless security here. 
• Disable. Wireless security is disabled by default. After the gateway is connected to 

the Internet, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you implement wireless security.

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64-bit encryption or 128-bit encryption. WEP 

provides data security with WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data 
encryption. You can select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See 

.

• WPA-PSK. WPA-PSK uses the TKIP encryption type with authentication from a 

RADIUS server.

• WPA2-PSK. WPA2-PSK uses the AES encryption type with authentication from a 

RADIUS server.

• WPA. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very 

strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually 
impossible to compromise. .

Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be 

disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless computer to match 
the new settings, or access the gateway from a wired computer to make further 
changes.
