Use Wps To Add A Computer To The Extender's Wireless Network - NETGEAR WN2000RPTv2 User Manual

Use WPS to Add a Computer to the Extender's Wireless
Network
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or wireless device to the
extender's network without entering the wireless network passphrase or key. Instead, you
use a WPS button or enter a PIN to connect. WPS supports WPA and WPA2 wireless
security. If your extender network is open (no wireless security is set), then connecting with
WPS automatically sets WPA2 + WPA wireless security on the extender network.
Note: You cannot use the Push 'N' Connect WPS button to connect the
extender to your wireless network. The WPS button on the extender
can be used only to connect a computer to the extender.
The Universal WiFi Extender WN2000RPT Installation Guide explains how to use WPS
during installation.
To join the extender's network using WPS after installation:

1. Select Setup > Add WPS Client. Click Next and the following screen displays:
2. Select a radio button.
• Push Button (recommended). Either click the
button on the front of the extender.
• PIN Number. Select the radio button, and a PIN displays.
The extender tries to find the wireless client (the computer) that is attempting to join the
network. If you are using a WPS button, it tries for 2 minutes. If you are using a PIN, it
tries for 4 minutes.
3. Go to your wireless computer. Use its WPS software to try to connect to the extender.
The first time you add a WPS client, WPS automatically sets the extender's wireless
security to WPA2 + WPA with a random passphrase. You can view these settings in the
Wireless Settings screen, described in the following section.
