Using either method, the client wireless device will attempt to detect the WPS signal from the 
router and establish a wireless connection in the time allotted.
• If no connection is detected, 
– The router WPS screen displays a message confirming that WPS did not establish a 
connection with a wireless client device.
– Neither the router’s SSID nor the wireless security settings were configured on the 
client device.
• If a connection is established: 
– The router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the wireless client was 
successfully added to your wireless network.
– The router’s SSID and wireless security settings were successfully transmitted to the 
client; the client now shares the same security settings as the router.
4. Note your SSID and security key (whether previously set or generated) for your wireless 
network.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N300 Wireless router, launch a

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 only use WPS for adding the WPS capable devices.
