Add Clients (Devices) to Your Network
Choose either the manual or the WPS method to add wireless devices, including guest
devices, and other equipment to your wireless network.
Manual Method
To add clients (devices) to your network manually:
1. Open the software that manages your wireless connections on the wireless device
(laptop computer, gaming device, iPhone) that you want to connect to your router. This
software scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for your network and select it. If you did not change the name of your network during
the setup process, look for the default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and select it. The default
Wi-Fi network name (SSID) is located on the product label on the bottom of the router.
3. Enter the modem router passphrase and click Connect. The default modem router
passphrase is located on the product label on the bottom of the router.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to
a home network while maintaining security. To use WPS, make sure that all wireless devices
to be connected to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. 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.
Note: However, if you find that the router is generating new security
settings for each added device, it means that the default value for
Keep Existing Wireless Settings has changed. See
WPS Settings on
page 85 for more information about this setting.
All Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products are compatible with the NETGEAR products
that have Push 'N' Connect, which is based on WPS.

For information about how to view a
list of all wireless and wired devices connected to your modem router, see View Attached
Devices on page 62.
You can use the WPS (Push 'N' Connect) or router interface method to add wireless devices
and other equipment to your wireless network. WEP security does not support WPS. If you
try to use WPS to connect a WEP device to your network, it cannot connect.
