• Method 3: Use the WPS button
Wireless devices that support WPS, including Android phones, tablets and most USB
network cards, can be connected to your router through this method ( not supported
by iOS devices).
Note:
The WPS function cannot be configured if the wireless function of the router is disabled. Also, the WPS function will be
disabled if your wireless encryption is WEP. Please make sure the wireless function is enabled and is configured with the
appropriate encryption before configuring the WPS.
1 ) Tap the WPS icon on the device’s screen. Here we take an Android phone as an
example.
