Configuring Your Wireless Network
24
2.
Push the N600 wireless gigabit router’s WPS button, then release. The WPS LED will start to
blink.
3.
While the WPS LED is blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are
connecting to. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs:
•
WPS has enabled security between the router and the other device.The router has
generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including a PSK security
password) on the router and has sent this configuration to the wireless client.
•
If you do not establish a connection using WPS during this 2-minute interval, your router
security and SSID (wireless network name) will still be configured for WPA/WPA2
security.
The WPS LED will stop blinking or turn off, depending on how you have them configured.
4.
Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N600 wireless gigabit router, launch a
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox. You should see the N600 wireless gigabit
router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.

security settings, see the

Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity
Once you have established basic wireless connectivity and enabled security settings appropriate to
your needs, you can test connectivity between devices connected to your router.
To test basic wireless connectivity:
1.
Log in to the N600 wireless gigabit router at its default LAN address of
http://192.168.1.1
with its default user name of
admin
and default password of
password
, or using whatever
LAN address and password you have set up.
2.
Select
Wireless Settings
from the main menu of the N600 wireless gigabit router.
If you are planning a mixed network of WPS capable devices and non-WPS capable
devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security
settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable
devices.
