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.
