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.
