Add Wireless Devices or Computers to Your Network

Choose either the manual or the WPS method to add wireless devices and other equipment to your wireless network. For information about how to set up a guest network, see Guest Network on page 35.

Manual Method

To connect 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.

The wireless 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 WiFi network name (SSID) and select it.

The default SSID is on the product label on the router.

3.Enter the router wireless network password (passphrase) and click the Connect button. The default router passphrase is on the product label on the router.

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

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.
