This can be done with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or manually. NETGEAR strongly suggests that you implement security to protect your network.Note: There is a Wireless On/Off button located on the rear panel of the gateway. Before attempting to connect wirelessly to the gateway, make sure that the Wireless LED is lit, indicating that the wireless feature is turned on.Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless NetworkIf the wireless clients in your network support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to automatically connect the wireless client securely and easily to the gateway. If you do use WPS to configure your wireless network, the method of security will be Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK) data encryption, and your SSID will be a randomly selected name.To initiate WPS using the push button on the gateway:1. Press the WPS button on the rear panel of the gateway for over 5 seconds.The green wireless status LED on the front of the Advanced Cable Gateway begins to blink in a fast pattern. While the light is blinking in a fast pattern, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the client that you are trying to connect to the gateway.2.
