Join Your Wireless Network
Choose either the manual or the WPS method to join your wireless network. See Guest
Networks on page 28 for instructions for how to set up a guest network.
WPS Method
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you connect to a secure WiFi network without typing its
password. Instead, you 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 left side of the router.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless computer or device, or follow the
WPS instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password, and connects you to the wireless network.
