NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500v2 User Manual
The wireless router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the client was added to the
wireless network. The wireless router generates an SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2
wireless security. The wireless router will keep these wireless settings unless you change
them, or you clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box in the WPS Settings
screen.

settings on the Wireless Settings screen. See
WPA/WPA2 Wireless Security" section.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your wireless router, launch a browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the wireless router's Internet
LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.
Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 4-minute timeframe, the
SSID will not be changed, and no security will be implemented on the wireless
router.

Using a PIN to Configure Your Network and Add a Client

Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the wireless router wirelessly is a
client. The client must support a WPS PIN, 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 wireless router, and
allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After
WPS is implemented, the wireless 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.
