Configure Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Push 'N' Connect using Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) allows you to connect computers to a
secure wireless network with WPA or WPA2 wireless security. The wireless VPN firewall
automatically sets security for each computer or device that uses WPS to join the wireless
network. To use WPS, make sure that your wireless devices are Wi-Fi certified and support
WPS. NETGEAR products that use WPS call it Push 'N' Connect.
You can use a WPS button or the wireless router interface method to add wireless computers
and devices to your wireless network.
