Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard that lets you easily join a secure wireless network
with WPA or WPA2 wireless security. The wireless router automatically sets security for each
computer or device that uses WPS to join the wireless network. To use WPS, make sure that
your wireless devices are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. NETGEAR products that use
WPS call it Push 'N' Connect.

WPS client, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box on the
