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
connect wirelessly to the gateway are clients). WPS automatically configures the network name
(SSID) and wireless security settings for the gateway (if the gateway is in its default state) and
broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
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.
Some considerations regarding WPS are:
• WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not
supported by WPS.
