Gateway CGD24G user manual Using a PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client

Wireless Cable Modem Gateway CGD24G User Manual

When the gateway adds the WPS client, it sends the SSID and WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK configuration to the client.

Note: If the Security Option in the Wireless Settings screen was set to Disabled, the gateway automatically changes it to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK (including a PSK security password) when it successfully adds the WPS client. You can view the gateway’s new settings in the Wireless Settings screen. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3.

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your gateway, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the gateway’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.

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.

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.

To use a PIN to add a WPS client:

1.Log in to the gateway using its default address of http://192.168.0.1 or at whatever IP address the unit is currently configured.

2.In the main menu, under Setup, select WPS Settings. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) screen displays.
