Go into the wireless device's configuration utility and look for a "WPS" or "Wi-Fi
Protected Setup" screen. This screen should let you know whether the device
supports WPS PBC method, the WPS PIN method, or both (some devices have
a PBC button in their configuration utilities, in addition to or instead of a physical

Only wireless clients with the correct password can access the network. It's a good
idea to change your wireless network's password every so often, if you think
someone knows it who shouldn't, or if there's suspicious activity on your network.
You should change the password on the CVE-30360, then change the password on
each of your wireless clients.
The procedure for changing the password on the CVE-30360 depends on the
security method your network is using.

If you are using the WPS PBC ("Push-Button Configuration") security method,
where you press a button on the CVE-30360 and the other wireless devices,
which connect automatically, just run the WPS PBC process again; see the
Quick Installation Guide that came with your CVE-30360 for more information on
how to do this.
