2. Click Setup and follow the instructions. The Smart Wizard Installation Assistant will guide you through the setup process:

How to change your cabling.
How to connect to the Internet.
How to configure your wireless settings.

- When you get to the wireless settings, you will have to select the country where you are located and decide whether you want to have security on your wireless links (Netgear strongly recommends enabling security).

- Depending on the type of security you select, you will also have to enter security key or passphrase information (see "Wireless Settings" on page 3-9 for information on the wireless authentication and encryption parameters).

If you want to change your Internet or wireless settings later, see "Changing Your Configuration" on page 3-5.
