3. While the WPS LED is blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are connecting to. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs: • WPS has enabled security between the router and the other device.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. • If you do not establish a connection using WPS during this 2-minute interval, your router security and SSID (wireless network name) will still be configured for WPA/WPA2 security. The WPS LED will stop blinking or turn off, depending on how you have them configured. 4. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N300 wireless router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox. The browser should begin to display a Web page. 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 about setting up your wireless network and configuring your wireless security settings, see the User Manual. A link to the online User Manual is on your Resource CD. Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity Once you have established basic wireless connectivity and enabled security settings appropriate to your needs, you can test connectivity between devices connected to your router. To test basic wireless connectivity: 1. Log in to the N300 wireless router by going to http://www.routerlogin.net or http:// www.routerlogin.com and entering the default user name admin and default password password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2.
