Use WPS Wireless Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your modem
router's wireless network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same time.
WPS is relatively new technology, so before you decide to use it, check to make sure that
your wireless computers and devices support WPS. NETGEAR calls WPS Push 'N' Connect.

wireless network, then you should manually set up your network first (see
Settings Manually on page 18). After that, you can still use WPS to set up the wireless
connection for the computers that support WPS.
Note: All WPS-capable products should be compatible with the modem
router. For more information about the WPS standard, visit
