specified in the Wireless Settings screen and sets the wireless security settings to either WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK and then and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
Note:
NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) standard (for more information, see
). 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 only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not
supported by WPS.
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
.
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 a
WPS Button to Add a WPS Client
.
Entering a PIN
. For information about using the PIN method, see
“Using a PIN Entry to Add
a WPS Client” on page 2-12
.
Using a WPS Button 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
.

Adding Both WPS and Non-WPS Clients
For non-WPS clients, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add them to the wireless
network. You must record, and then manually enter your security settings (see
“Manually
Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3
).
To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the gateway:
1.
Restore the gateway to its factory default settings (press the Restore Factory Settings button
located on the bottom of the gateway for 7 seconds).
When the factory settings are restored, all existing wireless clients are disassociated and
disconnected from the gateway.
2.
Configure the network name (SSID), select either the WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK radio button
on the Wireless Settings screen (see
“Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and
Security” on page 2-3
). and click
Apply
. On the WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK screen, select a
passphrase and click
Apply
. Record this information to add additional clients.
3.
For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the
utility’s instructions to enter the security settings that you selected (the SSID, WPA/PSK or
WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).
4.
For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedure
“Using a WPS Button to
Add a WPS Client” on page 2-10
or
“Using a PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-12
.
The settings that you configured are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they can connect to
the gateway.
