For wireless configuration using WPS, your wireless router must support WPS.
Make sure that your wireless router supports WPS and is turned on in your environment.
During this configuration, please temporarily move BR-500AC closer to your wireless router to
make it easier for both devices to communicate.
WPS may need to be enabled manually on your wireless router. For details, refer to the operation
manual that came with your wireless router.
If a security feature such as MAC Address filtering is enabled on your wireless router, disable it
temporarily so that BR-500AC can communicate with your wireless router.
If you plan to connect two or more network devices to BR-500AC using an Ethernet Hub, please go
back to Configuration Method 1 - Setup Using Configuration Mode.
The Client Mode can be configured only when BR-500AC is running in Configuration Mode.
