Using Push 'N' Connect to Join a Network
Push 'N' Connect (also called WPS) lets you join a secure wireless network by pushing a
button instead of entering a passphrase or network key. Your micro USB adapter works with
WPS, but only if the wireless network you want to join also supports WPS. An access point or
router that supports WPS has a WPS symbol on it.
To join a network using WPS:
1. Use the
icon to open the Smart Wizard. On the status bar at the bottom of the
screen, click Join a Network.
The Smart Wizard detects a WPS
network.
2. Select the Yes, I will connect using Push
'N' Connect radio button, and then click
Next.
3. Either push the WPS button on the micro
USB adapter or click the onscreen WPS
button. Click Next.
4. On the access point or router for the
network you want to join, use its Smart
Wizard or WPS configuration utility, and
push its WPS button as directed.
• The access point or router adds the
micro USB adapter to the network.
• The micro USB adapter Smart Wizard
status bar shows the status of your
wireless connection.
5. Click Close to exit the Smart Wizard.
6. Close the Smart Wizard or configuration utility for the access point or router.
