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 is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device.
3. Press the WPS button of the modem router for three seconds.
4. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, or follow
the WPS instructions that came with the computer or device.
The WPS process automatically sets up the computer or device with the network password and connects
the computer or 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 94.
