Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you connect to a secure WiFi network without typing its password. Instead, press a button or enter a PIN. NETGEAR calls WPS Push 'N' Connect.

During the connection process, the client gets the security settings from the router so that every device in the network has the same security settings.

Some older WiFi equipment is not compatible with WPS. WPS does not support WEP security. You cannot use WPS to connect a WEP client to the router’s WiFi network. WPS works only with WPA2or WPA wireless security.



To use WPS to join the wireless network:

1.

Press and hold the

WPS/Reset

button on the back of the router with the end of a paper clip or a similar object for one to three seconds.

The WiFi LED blinks.

2.

Within two minutes, press the

WPS

button on your computer wireless device or follow the

WPS instructions that came with the device.

The device is now connected to your router’s WiFi network.

3.

Repeat Steps 1–2 to add other WPS wireless devices.
