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 computer or mobile 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 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 computer or mobile 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 82.
