• To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following: – SSID. The default SSID for the wireless router is NETGEAR. – The wireless mode (802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports. – Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 2-4. v1.0, May 2009 NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500v2 User Manual • Push 'N' Connect (WPS) automatically implements wireless security on the wireless router while, at the same time, allowing you to automatically implement wireless security on any WPS-enabled devices (such as wireless computers and wireless adapter cards). You activate WPS by pressing a WPS button on the wireless router, clicking an onscreen WPS button, or entering a PIN number. This generates a new SSID and implements WPA/WPA2 security. Note: NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard (for more information, see All other WiFi- certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect. To set up your wireless network using the WPS feature: – Use the WPS button on the side of the wireless router (there is also an onscreen WPS button), or enter the PIN of the wireless device. – Make sure that all wireless computers and wireless adapters on the network are Wi-Fi certified and WPA or WPA 2 capable, and that they support WPS configuration. See “Using Push ‘N’ Connect to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-9. Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices. For best results, place your wireless router according to the following guidelines: • Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate. • In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-ofsight access (even if through walls). • Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. • Away from large metal surfaces. • If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. Safeguarding Your Network v1.0, May 2009 NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500v2 User Manual Wireless Security Options Computers can connect over a 802.11g or 802.11n network at a range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access your network. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The WNR3500v2 router provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network: Wireless data security options Range: up to 300 foot radius 1) Open system: easy but no security 2) WEP: security but some performance impact 3) WPA-PSK: strong security 4) WPA2-PSK: very strong security Figure 2-1 • WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. • WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible to compromise.

Safeguarding Your Network v1.0, May 2009 NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500v2 User Manual Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings You can view or manually configure the wireless settings for the wireless router in the Wireless Settings screen. If you want to make changes, make sure to note the current settings first. Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the wireless route...
