Configuring Basic Connectivity

v2.1, July 2007

.

Setting up a Vista WPS Network

If you have configured your router from a Windows Vista PC using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 
or if you configured your router using the NETGEAR wizard and selected no security, WPA, 
WPA2 or WPA+WPA2 as your security, you can expand your network map and add additional 
clients by using the following features in the Vista Settings menu.

•

Allow a Registrar to Configure This Router

. A Windows Vista PC can configure the router 

using WPS. This is the default configuration until the router has been configured (see 

Figure 1-10 on page 1-15

). Once a Windows Vista PC has configured the router, this feature 

becomes inactive. To reconfigure the router using a Windows Vista PC, this option must be 
enabled

•

Enable Built-In Registrar

. The router becomes the registrar and can easily add additional 

wireless clients into your network by automatically assigning the router’s Wireless Network 
Name (SSID) and WPA/WPA2-PSK security to the client. The client is added by entering the 
client PIN (which is promoted from the client utility) in the Add a Wireless Client dialog 
field..

To configure the router from a Windows Vista PC:

1.

If there is no check mark in the 

Allow a Registrar to Configure this Router

 checkbox, check 

the radio box and click Apply.

2.

On the Windows Vista PC, click the Network icon on your desktop to view a dialog that 
displays your network devices.

3.

From the Network dialog box, click the Add a wireless device menu button and follow the 
instructions displayed by the Windows Vista registrar.

Once a Windows Vista PC has configured the router, the 

Allow a Registrar to Configure this 

Router 

feature becomes inactive.

Note: 

The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold and Preamble Mode options 

are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change 
these settings.

Note: 

When using the Vista Settings, all devices in your network must use the same 

security settings and Wireless Network Name (SSID) in order to interoperate 
with each other.
