NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router WNR2000 User Manual

Enable WMM. Clear this check box to disable WMM. WMM (Wireless Multimedia), a subset of the 802.11e standard, allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, like video or audio, will have a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM.

Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode. The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.

Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure the router’s network name (SSID) and security settings and, at the same time, connect a wireless

client securely and easily to the router. Look for the symbol on your client device. WPS automatically configures the network name (SSID) and wireless security settings for the router (if the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.

Note: NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is 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.

When you add wireless clients, whether or not they are WPS enabled, the added devices must share the same network name (SSID) and security passphrase. For more information, see “Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup” on page 2-18.

Note: If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS.

The WNR2000 router provides two methods for connecting to a wireless client that supports WPS, described in the following sections:
