Where is my wps button on my netgear Dg834N modem

Here's and excerpt from the Netgear WNR2000 user manual explaining that this is normal behavior for Netgear routers that support WPS..:

• Keep Existing Wireless Settings. This check box is automatically selected after WPS is enabled to prevent unwanted settings changes, and is also selected if you have already specified wireless security settings or your SSID without using WPS. When this check box is not selected, adding a new wireless client using the push button or the Add WPS Client screen (see "Push Button Configuration" on page 2-14) changes the router's SSID and security passphrase. You might need to clear it if you are using certain registrars, such as for a Windows Vista PC, to configure the router through WPS.

Even if your router is not a WNR2000, it is likely that the configuration interface pretty much the same so you might be helped by looking at Chapter 2 page 17 in the WNR2000 manual here..:

• http://documentation.netgear.com/wnr2000/enu/202-10397-01/pdfs/FullManual.pdf

Or else, go to Netgear support (NETGEAR Support Welcome), select Wi-Fi routers and download/display the user manual pdf and search it for "disable router's pin" or "keep existing wireless settings" and verify/change the setting so the router doesn't make changes when you use the WPS button.

According to the manual I found at the following link;

WPS is not supported on this router. However, my suggestion would be to reset the WN2500 to default with the reset and start fresh, using the manual setup. You can find the help you need here;

NETGEAR Support Answer WN2500RP FAQ


I hope this helps you with your setup!

Push the WPS on the router and then on the DISH allow time for it to sink.

on netgear router it said if improper wps code was entered 4 times it would cause wps to blink slowly and disable it. It said the router had to be reset to factory, then wps would start working again. when you press wps and do autosetup on device it gives out this key and device will auotlink. you can only wps link with one router or you will cause error.

CALL YOUR ISP FIRST.
wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set up and connections. Some of NETGEAR's products use the name Push 'n' Connect for WPS. To use WPS, your product must support WPS and be compatible with WPA security. WPS can automatically set up a random network name (SSID) and strong WPA wireless security for wireless routers, access points, computers, adapters, Wi-Fi phones, and other electronic devices. WPS lets you use a push button or enter a personal identification number (PIN) instead of manually entering a network name (SSID) and password:

• Push button. The WPS button is either on the product or a clickable button on a wizard or utility screen.

Sometimes the ISP (Internet Service Provider) might have done something on their network that is causing it.

Try removing the power cord from the modem and the router. Then plug the power cord into the modem only and let it cycle up for about 2 minutes. Then plug the power cord into the router and let it cycle up.

If it still drops, then the router could be going bad.

You may have taken a bad update try factory default if you get in try to download from verified site new firmware

You should no be set for 192.168.1.1

Press both the Wireless button and WPS button on the side of the modem router for 5 seconds.
Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known. These steps restores the router setting to factory defaults. (e.i. administration password to admin and the IP address to 10.0.0.2.

Open any web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. In the address bar, enter "192.168.0.1" and press the enter key. This will bring up the login prompt for most Netgear wireless routers. If that doesn't work, try "www.routerlogin.net", "192.168.0.5", or "10.1.10.1" until the login window appears.

Should be able to acces it from the web interface.

This is a problem with your modem, you can try to reset the modem then reconfigure it back using the setup CD but the best way to solve this and check the modem is to call Netgear tech support and let one of their tech walk you through with that process , this is the number 1-888-638-4327 ...

Hope that helps..........
