Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method - NETGEAR WAC104 User Manual

To connect a device manually to the WiFi network of the access point:
1. Make sure that the access point is receiving power (its Power LED is lit) and that the WiFi radios are
on (the WiFi LED is lit).
2. On the WiFi device that you want to connect to your access point, open the software application that
manages your WiFi connections.
This software scans for all WiFi networks in your area.
3. Look for the access point's network and select it.
The default WiFi network name (SSID) for the 2.4 GHz radio band and the default SSID for the 5 GHz
radio band are on the product label.
4. If you already implemented security, enter the WiFi password that you set up for the network.
By default, both default networks are open (that is, unsecured), so you do not need to enter a network
key or password.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to a home network
while maintaining security. To use WPS (Push 'N' Connect), make sure that all WiFi devices to be connected
to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. During the connection process, the client gets the
security settings from the access point so that every device in the network supports the same security
settings.
To use WPS to connect a device to the WiFi network of the access point:
1.
Make sure that the access point is receiving power (its Power LED is lit) and that the WiFi radios are
on (the WiFi LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or WiFi device.
