Adding Both Wps And Non-Wps Clients - NETGEAR WNDR3400 - N600 Wireless Dual Band Router User Manual

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
Configuring Your Wireless Settings" on page
To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the wireless router:
1. Restore the wireless router to its factory default settings (press both the Wireless and WPS
buttons on the side of the wireless router for 5 seconds).
When the factory settings are restored, all existing wireless clients are disassociated and
disconnected from the wireless router.
2. Configure the network names (SSIDs), select the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK radio button on the
Wireless Settings screen (see
and click Apply. On the WPA/PSK + 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 in Step 2 (the SSID, WPA/
PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).
4. For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedure
Add a WPS Client" on page 2-12
The settings that you configured in Step 2 are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they can
connect to the wireless router.
Note: To make sure that your new wireless settings remain in effect, verify that the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings checkbox is selected in the WPS Settings
screen.
