how do i set the security on my 300 netgear? null

it should have come out of the box with a name and password already, mine did

I had no problem with just reading the directions that came with router and I'm NOT tech savvy. good luck.

1. Press the Push 'N' Connect button on the front of your router. The router WPS button will start to blink: • The router will enable WPA/WPA2 security with a PSK security password and will create a random SSID. • It will then transmit its SSID and security settings to your client device. • A message should display on your client device noting the connection status. 2. Go to your client device and follow the instructions on your client device networking utility for connecting to the router. You have approximately 2 minutes to complete your connection. If no connection is detected: • The WPS light will blink intensely for a few seconds and then cease blinking. • Neither the SSID nor the WPA/WPA2 security settings will be configured on the router. • A “not successful” message should display on your client device. (The WPS detection may have timed out; try again.) If a connection is established: If you choose to use Push 'N' Connect (WPS), the security methods supported are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP with Shared key authentication is not supported by WPS. 1. Push 'N' Connect can also be used to connect additional wireless clients if security is set to None.Configuring Your Wireless Network 26 • The WPS light will cease blinking. • The router will have generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including a PSK security password), and transmitted these settings to the client; the client now shares the same security settings as the router. • A “Success” message should display on your client device. After configuring wireless security on your router, either by using “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 24, or by setting up wireless security manually (see “Setting Your SSID and Wireless Security Manually” on page 23), you can add additional clients to your network by using the Push 'N' Connect button or by logging in to your wireless router.

Both wireless passphrases and MAC filters can be set up through the router's main menu. For step-by-step instructions how to access this menu and to change these settings, please refer to your owner's guide of the official FAQs on Netgear's website.
