Join the Wireless Network
Use the WPS method or the manual method to join the wireless
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 side of the router.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless
computer or device, or follow the WPS instructions that came with
the device.
The WPS process sets up your wireless computer with the
network password and connects you to the wireless network.
Manual Method
With the manual method, select 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 are on the
router label. If you changed these settings, look for the network
name that you set up.
3. Enter the router password and click Connect.
