Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router MBRN3000

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch a browser such

as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the router’s Internet LED

blink, indicating communication to the ISP.

Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute

time frame, the SSID does not chnage, and no security is set up.

WPS PIN Entry

Any wireless computer or device that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The

client must support a WPS PIN, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the

NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.

The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings

checkbox on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the router,

and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements

WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router automatically selects this checkbox so that your

SSID and wireless security settings stay the same if other WPS devices are added later.

To use a PIN to add a WPS client:

1. L

og in to the router as described in “Logging In to Your Router” on page 9.

2. On

the router main menu, select Add a

WPS Client (computers that will connect

wirelessly to the router are clients), and

then click Next. The Add WPS Client

screen displays:

3. Select the PIN Number radio button.

4. Go to

the client wireless computer. Run a

WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility’s

instructions to generate a PIN. Take note of the client PIN.

5. From the rou

ter Add WPS Client screen, enter the client PIN number, and then click Next.

• The ro

uter tries to communicate with the client for 4 minutes. If no WPS clients

connect during this time, the router wireless settings do not change.

• The ro

uter WPS screen confirms that the client was added to the wireless network.

The router generates an SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security.

6. Note

the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these

settings in the Wireless Settings screen. See “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings”

on page 15

To access the Internet from any computer con

nected to your router, launch an Internet

browser such as Mozilla Firefox. You should see the router’s Internet LED blink
