Basic Wireless Settings
The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless net\
work setup.
The N750 Modem Router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network 
name (SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryptio\
n protocol) are preset in 
the factory

. You can find the preset SSID and password on the bottom of the unit. 
Note:The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every 
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings . If you do 
decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new s\
ettings and store it in 
a safe place where you can easily find it.

If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSI\
D) or other wireless 
security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a 
computer with a wired connection to access the wireless modem router.
To view or change basic wireless settings:
1. 
On the BASIC Home screen, select W
 ireless. 
The screen sections, settings, and procedures are explained in the follo\
wing sections.
2.  Make any necessary changes, and click  Apply to save your settings.
3.  Set up and test your wireless devices and computers to make sure that th\
ey can connect 
wirelessly

. If they do not, check the following:

•Is your wireless device or computer connected to your network or another wireless 
network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open 
network (without wireless security) that they discover.
•Does your wireless device or computer show up on the Attached Devices screen? If it 
does, then it is connected to the network.
•If you are not sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on 
the bottom of your wireless modem router.
Wireless Settings Screen Fields
Region. The location where the wireless modem router is used. Select from the countries in 
the list. 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 (when indicated by 
lost connections or slow data transfers). If this interference 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.

Security Options Settings
Note:
These settings apply separately to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n 
bands.
The Security Options section of the Wireless Setup screen lets you chang\
e the security  option and passphrase.  NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the security 
option or passphrase, but if you want to change these settings, this section explains how

. 
Do not disable security .
Change WPA Security Option and Passphrase
Note:These settings apply separately to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n 
bands.
1.  Under Security Options, select the WP
 A option you want.
2. In the Passphrase field that displays when you select a WPA security option, enter the 
network key (passphrase) that you want to use. It is a text string fro\
m 8 to 63 characters.

Guest Networks
Adding a guest network allows visitors at your home to use the Internet \
without using your 
wireless security key. You can add a guest network to each wireless network: 2.4 GHz b/g/n 
and 5.0 GHz a/n 
To set up a guest network:
1.  From the BASIC Home screen, select Guest Network.
 
2. Select any of the following wireless settings:

Note:These settings apply separately to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n 
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 the network with 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 39.
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. It is also possible to set up a guest network without wireless security. 
NETGEAR does not recommend using no security on a wireless network.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified 
seal. This seal means that 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 authenticate 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. 
						

							NETGEAR genie BASIC Settings 40
N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL Modem Router DGND4000 
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 
because it is implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is implemented through 
software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial data 
encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. 
WPS-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode can provide broader support for all wireless clients. \
WP

A2-PSK clients get higher speed and security, and WPA-PSK clients get decent speed 
and security. The product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA client software 
should have instructions about configuring their WPA settings.
