WPS PIN Entry

Any wireless computer or device that will connect to the router 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.
The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings
check box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the router,
and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements
WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router automatically selects this check box so that your
SSID and wireless security settings stay the same if other WPS devices are added later.
To use a PIN to add a WPS client:
Log in to the router as described in

On the router main menu, select Add WPS

WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility's
instructions to generate a PIN. Take note of the client PIN.
