password. Instead, you press a button or enter a PIN. NETGEAR calls WPS Push 'N'
Connect.
Some older WiFi equipment is not compatible with WPS. WPS works only with WPA2 or WPA
wireless security.

Press the
WPS
button on the left side of the router.
2.
Within 2 minutes, press the
WPS
button on your wireless computer or device, or follow the
WPS instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password, and connects you to the wireless network.
