Before You Change the SSID and WEP Settings

Take the following steps:

For a new wireless network, print or copy this form and fill in the configuration parameters. For an

existing wireless network, the person who set up or is responsible for the network will be able to

provide this information. Be sure to set the Regulatory Domain correctly as the first step.

• SSID: The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network.

NETGEAR is the default WG102 SSID. However, you may customize it by using up to 32

alphanumeric characters. Write your customized SSID on the line below.

Note: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless adapter

card. All wireless nodes in the same network must be configured with the same SSID:

• Authentication

Circle one: Open System or Shared Key. Choose “Shared Key” for more security.

Note: If you select shared key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they

are set to Shared Key as well and have the same keys in the same positions as those in the

WG102.
