Connect wireless devices using WPS
Setup > Wireless Settings > WPS Setup
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to
easily add wireless devices to your network.
Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) method
o RECOMMENDED Hardware Push Button method–with an external
button located physically on your router and on your client device
o WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in router management
page
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in router management
page
Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation of WPS.
Recommended Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method
Note: it is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created before
connecting clients using the PBC method. If no wireless key is defined when connecting
via PBC, the router will automatically create an encryption key that is 64 characters long.
This 64 character key will then have to be used if one has to connect computers to the
router using the traditional connection method.
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless
device you are connecting(consult client device User’s Guide for length of time), then
push and hold the WPS button located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. The
WLAN LED on your modem router will flash rapidly indicating that the WPS setup
process has been activated. (See “Product Hardware Features” on page 2
)
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each
additional device.
PBC (Software/Virtual Push Button)
Setup > Wireless Settings > WPS Setup
In addition to the hardware push button located physically on your router, the router
management page also has push button which is a software or virtual push button you
can click to activate WPS on your router.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 35
).
2. Click on Setup and click Wireless Settings, then click on the WPS Setup button at the
bottom of the page.
