Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the router's network name (SSID) and security settings and, at the same time, connect a wireless
client securely and easily to the router. Look for the
automatically configures the network name (SSID) and wireless security settings for the router (if
the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
Note: NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) standard (for more information, see http://www.wi-fi.org). All other Wi-Fi-
certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR
products that implement Push 'N' Connect.
When you add wireless clients, whether or not they are WPS enabled, the added devices must
share the same network name (SSID) and security passphrase. For more information, see
"Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup" on page
Note: If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS.
