the router: using the physical push button or using the software button in the Add WPS Client
screen.

Press the button on the rear of the WNR1000v3h2 router for over 5 seconds. For
information about the WPS light, see the
NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual
.
The green
light begins to blink in a regular pattern. While the light is blinking, you
have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the client that you are trying to connect to the router.
2.
On the wireless client, follow its specific networking instructions to enable WPS, to allow it to
connect to the router.

light ceases blinking and remains on when one of
these conditions occurs:

The 2-minute window period expires for establishing a WPS connection. If the
connection is not established, the SSID and security settings will not be changed.
