Wireless-N 150 Router WNR612v2 User Manual
The wireless router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the client was added
to the wireless network. The wireless router generates an SSID, and implements
WPA/WPA2 wireless security. The wireless router keeps these wireless settings unless
you change them, or you clear the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings
check box in the
WPS Settings screen.

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.
Note:
If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute
time frame, the SSID does not change, and no security is
implemented on the wireless router.
WPS PIN Entry
Any wireless computer or device 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 stay the same if other WPS
devices are added later.
To use a PIN to add a WPS client:
