has sent this configuration to the wireless client.

Using a PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client

Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the gateway wirelessly is a client.
The client must support a WPS PIN, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the
NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
Note: By default, the gateway is configured with WEP security, which is incompatible
with WPS. If WEP is configured when you add a WPS client, the wireless security
changes to WPA-PSK [TIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] when the client is added.
