2. Push the wireless router’s push-button for 5 seconds, then release. The push-button light

should begin to blink..

3. While the push-button light is blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you

are trying to connect with the router. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions

occurs:

• WPS is enabled between the router and the other device you are connecting to.

• The 2-minute window period expires for establishing a WPS connection. Whether or not a

connection is established, your router security and SSID (service set identification key)

are now configured for WPS.

The push-button remains lit to show you have enabled WPS security.

4. If after enabling WPS you need to connect a device that does not include WPS functionality,

you will need to first log in to the router and obtain the security key. For more information,

refer to “Configuring Security Through the Wireless Settings” and the online Reference

Manual, available as a link on the Resource CD.

5. If you want to disable WPS, you have to reset your router to factory default settings. For

information about resetting to the default settings, see “Restoring the Default User Name and

Password” on page 38.

Configuring Security Through the Wireless Settings

To set up wireless connectivity and enable wireless security:

default password of password. (If you have changed the User Name and Password from the

defaults, use what you have set up).

While the router is in WPS enable mode (a maximum of 2 minutes), wireless

security is not enabled. Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks

at a range of several hundred feet. Unlike wired network data, your wireless

data transmissions can extend beyond your walls, and anyone with a compatible

adapter can receive them, allowing others outside your immediate area to access

your network. For more information about security, see the Reference Manual

that is available from a link on the Resource CD as well as a link in the main

menu of your router.
