NETGEAR N300 Wireless Router JWNR2000v2 User Manual

Add Clients (Computers or Devices) to Your Network

Choose either the manual or the WPS method to add wireless computers or devices to your

wireless network.

Manual Method

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. When prompted, enter the passphrase (password) to join the wireless network. This is the

password that you set up in the Wireless Settings screen in the Security Options section.

4. Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard that lets you easily join a secure wireless network

with WPA or WPA2 wireless security. The router automatically sets security for each

computer or device that uses WPS to join the wireless network. To use WPS, make sure that

your wireless devices are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. NETGEAR products that use

WPS call it Push 'N' Connect.

Note: If the wireless network name (SSID) changes each time you add a

WPS client, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box on the

Advanced Wireless Settings screen has been cleared. See

Advanced Wireless Settings on page 72 for more information about

this setting.

You can use a WPS button or the router interface method to add wireless computers and

devices to your wireless network.

WPS Button Method

1. Press the WPS button on the rear panel 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 computer. The device is now connected to your router.

3. Repeat steps 1–2 to add other WPS wireless computers or devices.
