Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client

Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the modem router wirelessly is a
client. The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as
the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check
box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the modem router, and
allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After
WPS is implemented, the modem router automatically selects this check box so that your SSID
and wireless security settings remain the same if other WPS-enabled devices are added later.
To use the modem router WPS button to add a WPS client:
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. On the modem router main menu, select Add a WPS Client, and then click Next. The
following screen displays:
Figure 2-4
By default, the Push Button (recommended) radio button is selected.
3. Either press the WPS button, or click the onscreen button.
The modem router tries to communicate with the client for 2 minutes.
