Set up or change an open or secure WiFi
network
The access point/router provides three WiFi networks (Wireless 1, Wireless 2, and
Wireless 3). By default, the Wireless 1 network is enabled (the other two WiFi networks
are disabled), its default SSID is NETGEAR-1, and its default security is WPA2-PSK with
the passphrase sharedsecret.
You can view or change the WiFi settings and WiFi security for the Wireless 1 network,
and you can enable and set up the Wireless 2 and Wireless 3 networks.
For each WiFi network, the access point/router simultaneously supports the 2.4 GHz
band for 802.11b/g/n devices and the 5 GHz band for 802.11a/n/ac devices. For the
2.4 GHz band, the default WiFi throughput mode is 300 Mbps. For the 5 GHz band, it
is 1733 Mbps. You can change (lower) the WiFi throughput mode (see Change the WiFi
throughput mode for a radio band on page 212).
