Connect to a Wireless Router
Determine whether your router has a WPS button and where it is located. See page 14 if your router does
not have a WPS button.
You are now ready to initiate communications between your FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter
Monitor through your LAN (Local Area Network) via your wireless router to the AirFilterSentry
Notification Service server.
Connect to a Wireless Router with a WPS Button
1. Depress the WPS button on your router for two to ten seconds until its WiFi LED begins to blink. See
your router user’s manual if you do not know what that button looks like. Timing varies with router
manufacturers.
2. Reference Figure 12 to locate the FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor WPS button.
3. Within several seconds (time depends on your specific wireless router), using a nonmetallic
instrument such as a pencil eraser, toothpick, or other non-metallic object, depress the WPS button
just once until you feel a click and immediately release. A series of red, green, and amber WiFi
Status Indicator flashes will occur, and finally go out. (NOTE: During a software update, amber
flashes will occur for about two minutes before going out. DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION DURING
THIS TIME!) If a series of RED WiFi Status LED flashes occur at the end of the flashes, this means
the monitor was unable to connect with the AirFilterSentry Notification server. The number of flashes
indicates the reason for the failure to connect. Refer to Table 1 WiFi Trouble-shooting Guide
below for further steps.
