Join Your Wireless Network

You can use the manual or the WPS method to join your wireless network. For instructions
about how to set up a guest network, see

Manual Method

With the manual method, choose the network that you want and type its password to
connect.
To connect manually:
1.
On your computer or wireless device, open the software that manages your wireless
connections.
This software scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2.
Look for your network and select it.
The unique WiFi network name (SSID) and password are on the router label. If you
changed these settings, look for the network name that you used.
3.
Enter the router password and click Connect.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you connect to a secure WiFi network without typing its
password. Instead, press a button or enter a PIN. NETGEAR calls WPS Push 'N' Connect.
Some older WiFi equipment is not compatible with WPS. WPS works only with WPA2 or WPA
wireless security.
To use WPS to join the wireless network:
1.
Press the WPS button on the router front panel
2.
Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password and connects you to the wireless network.
