Basic Wireless Settings
You can view or configure the wireless network setup.
The Trek comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), 
network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory. 
You can find the preset SSID and password on the label 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 settings and store it in 
a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the SSID or other wireless security settings, you 
are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer 
with a wired connection to access the Trek.
To view or change basic wireless settings:
1. Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the Trek.
2. Enter www.routerlogin.net or www.routerlogin.com in the web browser address bar.
The login screen displays.
3. Enter the Trek user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and

Click the  OK button.

5.  Select  BASIC > W

6. (Optional) Change the following wireless settings as needed.
• Region. 
 The location where the Trek is used. Select from the countries in the list. In 
Asia, the region is fixed to Asia and is not changeable.
• 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 recommends that you do not change 
this setting.
• Channel. 
 The wireless channel the gateway uses. 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 w\
ith different 
channels to see which is the best. 
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access poi\
nts use 
dif
 ferent radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel 
spacing between adjacent access points is five channels (for example, u\
se Channels 
1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The channel can be changed only when the Trek is operating in wired WAN mode.  For more information about connection modes, see Internet Setup on page  37.
• Mode. Up to 300 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.1
 1n and 802.11g 
wireless devices to join the network. The other settings are  Up to 54 Mbps and  Up to 
145 Mbps. 
• Enable SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the T
 rek to broadcast its SSID so 
wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned n\
etwork lists. 
This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear this check  box.

•Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, 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.
7. (Optional) Change the security settings as needed.
For more information, see Change the Wireless Security Option on page 46.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you were connected wirelessly to the router and you changed the SSID or wireless 
security, you are disconnected from the network.
9. If you changed the settings, make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with 
its new settings. 
If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:
•Is your computer or wireless device connected to another wireless network in your 
area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network (without 
wireless security) that they discover.
•Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old 
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network 
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your 
network.
Change the Wireless Security Option
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. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several 
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption. 
Note:The Trek comes with unique preset wireless security. These settings 
are on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use 
preset security so that you can refer to the label if you forget the 
WiFi password. However, you can change the security option and 
passphrase. 
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 (www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with 
the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking. 
WPA uses a passphrase for authentication and to 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 works 
with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points.  
						

							genie BASIC Settings 47
 Trek N300 Travel Router and Range Extender PR2000
WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA-PSK. It is advertised to be theoretically 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; 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. For help with WPA settings on your wireless computer or device, see the 
instructions that came with your product.
To change the WPA settings:
1.  Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected\
 to the T
 rek.
2.  Enter  www
 .routerlogin.net  or www.routerlogin.com in the web browser address bar.
