CONFIGURING THE GATEWAY (cont.)
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) wireless setup
WPS is a quick way to set up the gateway’s wireless network automacally and set
up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same me. WPS, also called Wi-Fi
Protected Setup, is relavely new technology, so before you decide to use it, check
to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS. Look for the symbol
(shown right) on all the computers that will connect wirelessly to the gateway.
If you do not see this symbol on all the computers that will connect to the wireless
network, manually set up your network rst. Aer that, you can sll use WPS to set
up the wireless connecon for the computers that support WPS.
Note: All WPS-capable products should be compable with the gateway. For more
informaon about the WPS standard, see hp://www.wi-.org.
Using the WPS buon
The WPS buon, located at the boom of the gateway’s front panel. The gateway
supports WPS, a quick and easy way to set up a secure Wi-Fi network. However, your
laptops, tablets, and mobile devices must be WPS-compable to do so.
If you are not sure whether your devices support WPS, check them for the WPS label
(shown above).
If you cannot nd it, the device most likely does not support WPS and you will have to
use the manual setup method. If your device does support WPS:
1. Press the WPS buon on your device (refer to the device’s manual).
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS buon on the front of the gateway:
A message appears when the connecon succeeds. If it fails, wait a few minutes, and
then connect another device using WPS.
