Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to
a home network while maintaining security. To use WPS (Push 'N' Connect), make sure that
all WiFi devices to be connected to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. During
the connection process, the client gets the security settings from the modem router so that
every device in the network supports the same security settings.
To use WPS to connect a device to the WiFi network of the modem router:
1. Make sure that the modem router has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or wireless device.
3. Press the WPS button on the side panel of the modem router for three seconds.
4. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your WiFi device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up the device with the network password and
connects the device to the WiFi network of the modem router.
For more information, see Use WPS to Add a Device to the WiFi Network on page 100.
