Using Push ‘N’ Connect to Configure Your Wireless Network

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

securely and easily to the wireless router. Look for the symbol on your client device (computers that will connect wirelessly to the wireless router are clients). WPS automatically configures the network name (SSID) and wireless security settings for the wireless router (if the wireless router is in its default state) and transmits 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.

Some considerations regarding WPS are:

•WPS supports non-security, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WEP with auto or open authentication. WEP with Shared Key authentication is not supported.

•If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS capable devices and non-WPS capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable devices. See “Adding Both WPS-Capable Clients and Non-WPS-Capable Clients” on page 2-14.

A WPS client can be added using the Push Button method or the PIN method.

•Using the Push Button. This is the preferred method. See the following section, “Using the WPS Button to Configure Your Network and Add a Client”.

•Entering a PIN. For information about using the PIN method, see “Using a PIN to Configure Your Network and Add a Client” on page 2-11.
