N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2 User Manual

Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless

Network

If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to

configure the N300 wireless modem router’s SSID and security settings and, at the same

time, connect the wireless client securely and easily to the N300 wireless modem router.

Look for the symbol on your client device (computers that will connect wirelessly to the

N300 wireless modem router are clients). WPS automatically configures the network name

(SSID) and wireless security settings for the N300 wireless modem router (if the N300

wireless modem 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.

Some considerations regarding WPS are:

• WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not

supported by WPS.

• 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 additional

WPS-capable devices. See Adding Both WPS and Non-WPS Clients on page 28.

You can add a WPS client using the Push Button method or the PIN method.

• Using the Push Button. This is the preferred method. See the following section, Using a

WPS Button to Add a WPS Client .

• Entering a PIN. For information about using the PIN method, see Using PIN Entry to Add

a WPS Client on page 25.

Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client

Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the N300 wireless modem

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 N300 wireless modem router WPS button to add a WPS client:

1. Log in to the N300 wireless modem router at its default LAN address of

http://192.168.0.1 or http://www.routerlogin.net with its default user name of admin

1 2 ... 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 ... 176 177
