Wps Button - NETGEAR MBRN3000 User Manual

NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the WPS standard. All other
•
Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products
that implement Push 'N' Connect.
If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS capable devices and non-WPS
•
capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security
settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding WPS capable devices.

WPS Button

Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client.
The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as
the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
To use the router WPS button to add a WPS client:
Log in to the router as described in
1.
On the router main menu, select Add
2.
a WPS Client, and then click Next.
By default, the Push Button
(recommended) radio button is
selected.
Either click the onscreen button or
3.
press the WPS button on the front of
the router.
The router tries to communicate with the client (the computer that wants to join the
network) for 2 minutes.
Go to the client wireless computer, and run a WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility's
4.
instructions to click a WPS button.
Go back to the router screen to check for a message.

The router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the client was added to the
wireless network. The router generates an SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless
security. The router will keep these wireless settings unless you change them, or you
clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box in the WPS Settings screen.
Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these

settings in the Wireless Settings screen. See
