Specify WPS Settings
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join the WiFi network without typing the WiFi password.
To specify WPS Settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Router’s PIN field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the Network Explorer on
a Vista Windows computer) to configure the router’s wireless settings through WPS.
5.
(Optional) Select or clear the Enable Router’s PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious attempts to break into the
router’s wireless settings by using the router’s PIN through WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by
selecting the Enable Router’s PIN check box.
6.
(Optional) Select or clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave
this check box selected.
If you clear this check box, the next time a new wireless client uses WPS to connect to the router, the router
wireless settings change to an automatically generated random SSID and security key.
7.
Click the Apply button.
Your changes are saved.
Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point
You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as another router.
