For a Windows PC, go to the Control Panel and select Network Connections. Check the Wireless Connections Properties and ensure that TCP/IP Properties are set to Obtain an IP address automatically. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your wireless-N modem router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the wireless-N modem router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. 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 router’s SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client securely and easily to the router. Look for the symbol on your client device.1 WPS automatically configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the router (if the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client. NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard. All other Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect. If the router has already been configured manually, and either WPS-PSK or WPA2-PSK security has been enabled, a wireless client can be connected quickly and simply by using the WPS method of connecting to the wireless network. In this case, the existing wireless settings are broadcast to the WPS-capable client. (For more information on setting up a mixed network, see the on-line User Manual. A link to the User Manual is on the Resource CD.). If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS. 1. For a list of other Wi-Fi-certified products available from NETGEAR, go to Configuring Your Wireless Network These instructions assume that you are configuring WPS on the router for the first time and connecting a WPS-capable device. To set up basic wireless connectivity: 1. Log in to the wireless-N modem router at its default LAN address of with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. You can also enter either of these addresses to connect to your wireless router: or 2. On the router main menu, select Add a WPS Client (computers that will connect wirelessly to the router are clients). The Add WPS Client wizard screen displays. Click Next. Figure 15 3. Select the method for adding the WPS client. A WPS client can be added using the Push Button method or the PIN method. • Using the Push Button. This is the preferred method. – Select the Push Button radio box and either press the WPS Push Button on the side of the router or click the soft WPS Push Button on the screen (as shown below). – The router will attempt to communicate with the client; you have 2 minutes to enable WPS from the client device using the client’s WPS networking utility. Configuring Your Wireless Network : Figure 16 • Entering a PIN. If you want to use the PIN method, select the PIN radio box. A screen similar to the one shown below displays. – Go to your wireless client and, from the client’s WPS utility, obtain the wireless client’s security PIN, or follow the client’s WPS utility instructions to generate a security PIN. – Then, enter this PIN in the Enter Client’s PIN field provided on the router and click Next. You have 4 minutes to enable WPS on the router using this method. Figure 17 Using either method, the client wireless device will attempt to detect the WPS signal from the router and establish a wireless connection in the time allotted. • If no connection is detected, then no SSID or security settings are configured on the router. • If a connection is established, the router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the wireless client was successfully added to the wireless network. (The router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including a PSK security password) on the router and has sent this configuration to the wireless client.) 4. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. Configuring Your Wireless Network To access the Internet from any computer connected to your wireless-N modem router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the wireless-N modem router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. If you are planning a mixed network 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. For more information on setting up your wireless network and configuring your wireless security settings, see the User Manual. A link to the on-line User Manual is on you...
