Using a PIN Entry 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.

To use a PIN to add a WPS client:

1.Log in to the gateway as described in “Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4.

2.In the main menu, select Wireless Settings. Scroll down to the WPS section of the screen:

WPS automatically selects WPA-PSK

if security is disabled.
