I am trying to hook up a netgear universaL WIFI INTERNET ADAPTER to my tv and it says to push the WPS button on my router and i dont know what to push

we've no idea at all what system you have or where you are or all equipment names and models there.
The word Gateway here, means Gateway computer company.
my guess you confused that? so i moved you to LG.
but really this is router issue, to connect.

how far is TV from your router 10feet or 100feet or?

i guess that LG 42LD550 is TV and you posted a TV question to computers? LG is not Gateway ever.
to connect wifi from the TV to your router
takes knowing the credentials of the router wifi channels.
SSID
WPA/WPA2
and paraphrase.
is it your router,or does the ISP own it and is locked out.

there are 3 ways to connect, the above
WPS, if it works at all and a feature of your router.
wired, ethernet cable end to end (the easy way)

wps has time out delay, so you need to push the button then go to TV quickly and try to connect.
this button on mine is turned off, for security.so....

login to the router main interfacew normally by 192.168.0.1 the user and password are on a sticker on router somewhere and then there will be a tab in interface that will say Wireless the pass word can be changed via there. another alternative is if the router has WPS just press button on rpouter and on device find WPS connect in wifi settings and it will auto connect.

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.

Ok firstly let me just state that the button in question is a "WPS" button and not all routers have these. Your sony dvd should have several methods to connect to a network please look these up in the manual and try a different method thanks

Thanks for posting to Fixya!

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;

I hope this helps you with your setup!

The Netgear WNR834B does not support WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

You can follow the documentation in the manual to setup WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) and use the key to add devices to your wireless network.

2. Select a radio button.
• Push and Connect (recommended). Either click the button or press the WPS
button on the rear panel of the Internet adapter.
• PIN Number. Select the radio button and a PIN displays.
The Internet adapter tries to join the wireless network for 2 minutes if you are using Push
'N' Connect, or 4 minutes if you are using a PIN.
3. Go to the router.
• If you are using Push 'N' Connect, press the router's WPS button.
• If you are using a PIN, log in to the router and type the PIN from your Internet adapter
in its WPS screen.
4. Go back to the computer that is connected to the Internet adapter, and make sure that you
are connected to the wireless network.
• When WPS is running, the WLAN LED blinks, alternating between green and amber.
• If the computer does not to connect with WPS, the WLAN LED is solid red for 5
seconds.
• If the computer does connect using WPS, the WLAN LED is solid green for 5 seconds
Then the WLAN LED returns to indicating a wireless signal.

If you got WPS capability on the device you are trying to connect you can push the WPS-button on the router, or you can login to the administration interface on the router (IP-address might be underneath unless you don't know it) and change the password to your liking. If you don't know the login and password for your interface then i guess the last resort is to find the reset button on the router and use the provided login that usually is found on a sticker underneath the device (your router), and simply set a new password for your WIFI.

Netgear never gives a defined range in metres.
Will the WiFi adapter work with the TV, as it is designed to be controlled by a computer not a TV?
The USB socket on the TV is designed for being used as PVR, video recorder, not to connect to the internet.
You need to consult your TV manual, as I don't think it will ever work.

I have a netgear wnce2001 universal internet adapter. It was previously configured to the wireless internet in home to work with Xbox. Just yesterday the WLAN line went out. Hooked ethernet and USB cable up to computer. Proceeded to the netgear wizard to reconnect adapter to network. Got as for as step 3 and then told that there is difficulty connecting to the existing network. Does anyone have any suggestions to help solve my current problem? How can I reconnect?
