Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network and Security
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the gateway’s SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client securely
and easily to the gateway. Look for the symbol on your client device (computers that will
connect wirelessly to the gateway are clients). WPS uses the network name (SSID) that is
specified in the Wireless Settings screen and sets the wireless security settings to either WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK and then and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
Some considerations regarding WPS are:
• WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not
supported by WPS.
• Before you can add a WPS client, the Security Option in the Wireless Settings screen must be
set to Disabled, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless
Settings and Security” on page 2-3.
Note: NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) standard (for more information, see http://www.wi-fi.org). All other Wi-
Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR
products that implement Push 'N' Connect.
