Using Push ‘N’ Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup Push 'N' Connect (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your gateway’s wireless network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same time. WPS, also called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is a relatively new technology, so before you decide to use it, check to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS.
Method 2: Push Button This method is used when your wireless device has the ability to connect using WPS with a button. 1. First, make sure you know how WPS works on your computer or wireless device. If it works with WPS, there will be a WPS utility feature and it might have a WPS button.
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected and that the power adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. Check that you are using the power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product. Ensure that the power switch located on the back of your Gateway is in the ON position.
