The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the wireless router, and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS.

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your wireless router, launch a browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the wireless router’s Internet
LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.
Using PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client
Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the wireless 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
check
box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the wireless router, and
allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After
WPS is implemented, the wireless router automatically selects this check box so that your SSID
and wireless security settings remain the same if other WPS-enabled devices are added later.

Note:
If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute time frame, the
SSID will not be changed, and no security will be implemented on the wireless
router.
