Wireless-N 300 Modem Router DGN2200 User Manual Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network and Security If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure the wireless-N modem router's SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client securely and easily to the wireless-N modem router. Look for the symbol on your client device1 (computers that will connect wirelessly to the modem router are clients). WPS automatically configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the wireless-N modem router (if the wireless-N modem router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client. Some considerations regarding WPS are: • WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not supported by WPS. • 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 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 "Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup" on page 2-14. • If the wireless-N modem 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. These instructions assume that you are configuring WPS on the wireless-N modem router for the first time and connecting a WPS-capable device. 1.

Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings
v1.0, March 2010
Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network and Security
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the wireless-N modem router’s SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the
wireless client securely and easily to the wireless-N modem router. Look for the
symbol on
your client device
1
(computers that will connect wirelessly to the modem router are clients). WPS
automatically configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the wireless-N modem router
(if the wireless-N modem router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless
client.
Some considerations regarding WPS are:
•
WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not
supported by WPS.
•
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 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
“Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup” on page 2-14
.
•
If the wireless-N modem 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.
These instructions assume that you are configuring WPS on the wireless-N modem router for the
first time and connecting a WPS-capable device.
