You don't have to set up a password,you can use the factory one that's already present,if you don't use that one,it will let you set your own.

I simply used the password that is on the card on the bottom of the router. The CD that came with the router has instructions on it on how to change both the router name, and the password.

I called my Internet provider and they set it up it was blocking the ip address of the modem

On the back there is already a network name and unique password. You just need to indentify that router when you search for networks and enter the provided password. Super easy.

Austin's is the right answer, but if you need help on that, you might want to review this helpful website for that and other info:http://netsecurity.about.com/od/secureyourwifinetwork/a/How-To-Change-Your-Wifi-Network-Password.htm

The password to the router is underneath the router itself, and usually its the name of the router for example crystalview_35W122ABThe 35W122AB is the default password, and if that does not work reset the router by putting a pin in the reset button while it still plugged in

No. I set up this router yesterday over wireless. Just make sure you use the password printed on the sticker in back of the device. It literally took 5 minutes to set up.

The first thing you need to do is set the router's main configuration password. Do this by going to your router's configuration in a web browser, then clicking the "main" menu on the left, then "Password." Set your admin password there. Next, you need to set your wireless password. Click the "Wireless" menu on the left, then choose an authentication type (I use WPA2), click PSK, then "Auto," and set your passphrase. This will be the password you give to people you want to be able to get on your wifi. After that, you should be reasonably secure.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure about finding the router's advanced settings since it was given to us by the phone company. There's no software or anything. I guess I could call Verizon for help if I can't find where to enter the PIN. I'll also give the unit some time to connect. Thanks for your input.

The router only acts as an extension of your existing router. It should automatically connect exactly the same way it connects to your current router. It just extends the network with the same user name and password.

You set the password by logging into the router itself. The instructions give you the router's address to type into the search window at the top of the page in Explorer. The router must be connected to the PC with a LAN cable to communicate with it.

I believe I remember a way in the setup manual but I ended up not using this router because it would not work with my router without lowering the security level and I didn't want to do that. Wish they would have said that in the product description.

Go to the website the instruction provided, select "Wireless Settings", under security options select "WPA2-PSK [AES]" or "WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]", then add your password. Boom, you're done! Now enjoy your private WIFI!

No it's not required but we had one from our cable supplier. You simply go to Netgears website and they instruct you how to change the password etc. The website is not very clear however but doable.

Right out of the box it comes with wifi disabled, at least mine did, you have to enable it first. go to system settings and on wifi click from off to on. other than that you may just need the password for your router.

Into the package you get a quick referece guide. But you can connect it to the computer, by cable or wi-fi, and then, type 192.168.1.1 in your browser address bar. Window setting will open. Factory default username 'n password is &lt;admin&gt;, &lt;admin&gt;. You'll find &lt;Help&gt; and instructions setting. Keep in hand date from yr ISP provider. Good Lucky.

John, I couldn't get mine to connect so I called Samsung and was told that my router's security setting must be WPA2. My router couldn't do that so I replaced it. The new router worked well 1st time. The default password was 8 numbers but I later changed it to 10 characters. It worked both ways. Paul
