specified in the Wireless Settings screen and sets the wireless security settings to either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK and then and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.

Note: NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard (for more information, see http://www.wi-fi.org). All other Wi- Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect.

Some considerations regarding WPS are:

•WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not supported by WPS.

•Before you can add a WPS client, the Security Option in the Wireless Settings screen must be set to Disabled, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3.

A WPS client can be added using the Push Button method or the PIN method.

•Using the Push Button. This is the preferred method. See the following section, “Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client.

•Entering a PIN. For information about using the PIN method, see “Using a PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-12.

Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client

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

Before you can add a WPS client, the Security Option in the Wireless Settings screen must be set to Disabled, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3.
