Do you mean BASIC > Wireless : Security Options (for each radio), or
what?
If you did reasonable things (which I can't see), and "Apply" did
nothing, and no actual error message was emitted, then I'd suspect the
firmware.

Still wondering. If your firmware is current, then you might try a
settings (misnomer: "Factory") reset, and manual reconfiguration.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.
Look for "Reset".

Thanks for the helpful link(s). According to:
https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27644
practically anything better than "None" should work. But, if the router
fails to accept a legitimate settings change, then I'd wonder what it's
doing.
The other problem is that I can't get into the access control ( https://www.routerlogin.net or https://www.routerlogin.com)
I was initially able to change the security settings of the network on those websites, but now my internet browsers will not let me access these sites. I'm getting the standard "this site can't be reached" on my Macbook.
The wifi router is 10 years old. Maybe it's time for a new one?

Try "http://" instead of "https://" (as in the instructions)?

It's obsolete junk, but so is at least half my inventory. Perhaps
it's time actually to _read_ the User Manual, and not just skim over it.
