Manual Method
To connect manually:

(laptop computer, gaming device, iPhone) that you want to connect to your WiFi modem
router. This software scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for your net

the setup process, look for the default WiFi network name (SSID) and select it. The default
SSID is located on the product label on the bottom of the WiFi modem router.

passphrase is located on the product label on the bottom of the WiFi modem router.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 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, make sure that all wireless 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 WiFi modem router so that every device
in the network has the same security settings.
If your wireless device supports WPS (Push
'N' Connect), use the following procedure.
To use WPS to join the wireless network:
1. Pre
ss the WPS button on the WiFi modem router top panel.
