Setting up a Vista WPS Network

If you have configured your router from a Windows Vista PC using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
or if you configured your router using the NETGEAR wizard and selected one of the following as
your security choice: no security, WPA, WPA2 or WPA+WPA2, then you can expand your
network map and add additional clients by using the following features:
• Allow a Registrar to Configure This Router. When this is enabled, a Windows Vista PC can
configure the router using WPS by adding the router's PIN which is located on the router
label. This is the default configuration until the router has been configured. Once a Windows
Vista PC has configured the router, this feature becomes inactive. To reconfigure the router
using a Windows Vista PC, this option must be enabled.
• Enable Built-In Registrar. When enabled, the router becomes the registrar and can easily add
additional wireless clients into your network by automatically assigning the router's Wireless
Network Name (SSID) and WPA/WPA2-PSK security to the client. The client is added by
entering the client PIN (which is promoted from the client utility) in the Add a Wireless Client
dialog field.
Note: When using the Vista settings, all devices in your network must use the same
security settings and Wireless Network Name (SSID) in order to interoperate
with each other.
