Join Your Wireless Network
You can use the manual or the WPS method to join your wireless network. See Guest
Networks on page 36 for instructions about how to set up a guest network.
Manual Method
With the manual method, choose the network that you want and type its password to
connect.
To connect manually:
1. On your computer or wireless device, open the software that manages your wireless
connections.
This software scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for your network and select it.
The unique WiFi network name (SSID) and password is on the router label. If you
changed these settings, then look for the network name that you used.
3. Enter the modem router password and click Connect.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 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.
Some older WiFi equipment is not compatible with WPS. WPS works only with WPA2 or WPA
wireless security.
To use WPS to join the wireless network:
1. Press the WPS button on the modem router front panel
.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless device or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device.
