Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client

Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the modem router wirelessly is a client. The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.

To use the modem router WPS button to add a WPS client:

1.Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.

2.On the modem router main menu, select Add a WPS Client, and then click Next. The following screen displays:

By default, the Push Button (recommended) radio button is selected.

3.Either press the modem router dome for a few seconds, which works as a WPS button, or click the onscreen button.

The modem router tries to communicate with the client for 2 minutes.

4.Go to the client wireless computer, and run a WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility’s instructions to click a WPS button.

5.Go back to the modem router screen to check for a message.

The modem router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the client was added to the wireless network. The modem router generates an SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security. The modem router will keep these wireless settings unless you change them, or you clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen. See “Restricting Access to Your Modem Router” on page 2-16

6.Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these settings in the Wireless Settings screen. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 2-4.
