WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup that allows you to join in a secure Wi-Fi network without choosing a network name or without even entering a password. Netgear routers connect devices that come within other network connections by forwarding several data packets among them.

This data is entitled to be passed along devices via the internet and ensures that the data doesn’t get lost in between the home network but actually reach the correct destination. However, with a WPS button on Netgear router, the process becomes extremely facile. So, let’s move on and journey through the process.
