Push Button Configuration
There are two methods to enable a wireless client to join a network using a push button on the
router: using the physical push button or using the software button in the Add WPS Client screen.
Using the Physical Push Button
1. Press the WPS push button on the N300R router for over 5 seconds.
The WPS LED begins to blink in a regular pattern. While the light is blinking, you have 2
minutes to enable WPS on the client that you are trying to connect to the router.
2. On the wireless client, follow its specific networking instructions to enable WPS, to allow it to
connect to the router.
The N300R router’s WPS LED ceases blinking and remains on when one of these conditions
occurs:
• The router and the client establish a wireless connection.
• The 2-minute window period expires for establishing a WPS connection. If the connection
is not established, no WPS security settings will be specified in the N300R router.
Using the Software Button in the Add WPS Client Screen
1. Log in to the router as described in “Logging In To Your WiFi Router” on page 1-1.
2. Select Add WPS Client in the main menu, and click Next.
3. Select the Push Button setup method.
