• The computer with the wireless-N USB adapter must be running Windows XP, or Vista (32/64
bits).
To connect the wireless-N USB adapter to an access point or router that supports WPS, there are
several methods:
• Starting with the adapter, do one of the following:
– Connect during initial installation. See the Installation Guide, provided in the package and
on the Resource CD.
– Click Join a Network on the Smart Wizard Settings screen (see “Smart Wizard Status
Bar” on page 1-11).
– Click an access point or router that supports WPS in the Networks tab (see “Viewing
Wireless Networks in Your Area” on page 2-1).
• Starting with the router or access point. Log in to the router or access point, then follow the
router or access point’s prompts to connect a WPS client.
You can use either a push button or PIN entry to connect using WPS:
• Push Button Configuration. Press a push button or push dome on the access point or router,
or click an on-screen button in the software. This is a fairly new technology, so not all access
points and routers provide a push button. See “Using a WPS Button to Connect to a Wireless
Network” on page 2-5.
• PIN entry. Use the router or access point’s Personal Identification number (PIN), or use the
wireless-N USB adapter’s PIN. See “Using a PIN to Connect to a Wireless Network” on
page 2-6.
Notes: If you connect using WPS and later lose the settings, they can be restored by
reconnecting using the WPS procedures described in this section.
