Join the WiFi Network
To join the router WiFi network, you can either use the routers
Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function or select its WiFi network
and type its password. For help with the WPS button on your
computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that
came with that computer or device. Some older equipment cannot
use WPS.
¾ To join the network using WPS:
1. Press the WPS button on the router for 3–5 seconds.
The WPS LED on the button blinks.
2. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its
WPS button or click its onscreen WPS button.
The WPS LED lights solid blue when the computer or WiFi
device connects to your router.
3. Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices.
¾ To select your network and enter its password:
1. Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections
on the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to
your router.
This utility scans for WiFi networks in your area.
2. Find and select your routers WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the product label.
3. Enter the routers password (or your custom password if you
changed it) and click the Connect button.
The password is on the product label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi
devices.
