•Password. The password that you use to log in to your ISP. 
•Idle Timeout (In minutes). If you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in 
minutes. This determines how long the wireless modem 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.
•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 wireless modem router to 
which your wireless modem 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 does not automatically transmit DNS 
addresses to the wireless modem router during login, select this option, and enter the IP 
address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is 
available, enter it also.
Wireless Modem Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address used by the wireless 
modem router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network 
interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then accept 
traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your wireless modem 
router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also called cloning). 
•Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
•Use Computer MAC Address. The wireless modem router will capture and use the MAC 
address of the computer that you are now using. You have to use the one computer that 
is allowed by the ISP.
•Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.

Wireless Settings Screen Fields
Region. The location where the wireless modem router is used. Select from the countries in 
the list. Note that in the United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not 
changeable.
Wireless Network
Note:These settings apply separately to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n 
bands.
Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character 
(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly 
generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this.
Channel. This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1 
through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be 
operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost 
connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to 
see which is the best. 
Mode. Up to 130 Mbps is the default and allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join 
the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps. The 300 Mbps setting allows 802.11n devices to 
connect at this speed.
Enable SSID Broadcast. This setting allows the wireless modem router to broadcast its 
SSID so wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. 
This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID 
Broadcast check box, and click Apply.
Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or 
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or 
access Ethernet devices on the network.

bands.
Enable Guest Network. When this check box is selected, the guest network is enabled, 
and guests can connect to your network using the SSID of this profile.
Enable SSID Broadcast. If this check box is selected, the wireless access point 
broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the 
correct SSID for connections to this access point.
Allow guest to access My Local Network. If this check box is selected, any user who 
connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just Internet access.
Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers 
or wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each 
other or access Ethernet devices on the network.
3. Give the guest network a name.
The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters. You then 
manually configure the wireless devices in your network to use the guest network name in 
addition to the main nonguest SSID. 
4. Select a security option from the list. The security options are described in Guest Network 
Wireless Security Options on page 40.
5. Click Apply to save your selections.
Guest Network Wireless Security Options
A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The 
security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices 
receive authorization to connect to your network. 
This section presents an overview of the security options and provides guidance on when to 
use which option. Note that it is also possible to set up a guest network without wireless 
security. NETGEAR does not recommend this.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified 
seal. This seal means the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) 
because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area 
networking. 
WPA-PSK uses a passphrase to perform authentication and generate the initial data 
encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal 
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, 
and is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access 
points. It is superseded by WPA2-PSK.
WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA. It is advertised to be indecipherable due to the greater 
degree of randomness in encryption keys that it generates. WPA2-PSK gets higher speed
