Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS)
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect to a wireless network without entering its
passphrase or wireless key. Instead, you use a button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you have a NETGEAR router, this feature is called Push 'N' Connect. Look for the or
symbol on the router to make sure the NETGEAR router supports WPS. For
non-NETGEAR routers, refer to the user manual to determine if the router supports WPS.
