security settings for the router (if the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to
the wireless client.
NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
standard. All other Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible
with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect.
If the router has already been configured manually, and either WPS-PSK or WPA2-PSK security
has been enabled, a wireless client can be connected quickly and simply by using the WPS method
of connecting to the wireless network. In this case, the router preserves its existing wireless
settings and broadcasts them to the WPS-capable client.
If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS.
If you install a NETGEAR adapter that supports WPS, its installation procedures guide you
through a WPS connection without the need to log in to the router. However, if you wish to
perform any WPS connection using the router settings, use the procedures below. (For more
information on setting up a mixed network, see the online User Manual.
