Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network and Security
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the modem router's SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client
securely and easily to the modem router. Look for the
(computers that will connect wirelessly to the modem router are clients). WPS automatically
configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the modem router (if the modem router is in
its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
Some considerations regarding WPS are:
• WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not
supported by WPS.
• NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard.
All other Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR
products that implement Push 'N' Connect.
• 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
"Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup" on page
• If the modem router has already been configured manually, and either WPS-PSK or WPA2-
PSK security has been enabled, a wireless client can be connected quickly and simply by using
the WPS method of connecting to the wireless network. In this case, the existing wireless
settings are broadcast to the WPS-capable client.
