Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network
For you to use Push 'N' Connect, your wireless computers or devices must support Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS). Compatible equipment usually has the
can configure the network name (SSID) and set up WPA/WPA2 wireless security for the
wireless modem router and the wireless computer or device at the same time.
Some considerations regarding WPS are:
• NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the 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 WPS-capable devices.
You can connect to the network using WPS either with a push button or a PIN.
• Push Button. This is the preferred method. See the following section,
• Entering a PIN. See
