Introduction
1.4 Getting to Know the FiOS Router
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easier way to set up a wireless network. Instead
of entering passwords or multiple keys on each wireless client (laptop, printer,
external hard drive, etc.), the FiOS Router can create a wireless network that only
requires the pressing of buttons (one on the FiOS Router, and one on the client
[either built-in, or on a compatible wireless card]) to allow wireless clients to join
the FiOS Router's wireless network. Although the WPS button is included on
the FiOS Router, WPS functionality will not be enabled until a future firmware
release. The button is included so that WPS can be activated at a later date
without having to physically change the FiOS Router. The GUI does not include
the WPS option.
1.4b Rear Panel
The rear panel of the FiOS Router has eight ports (Coax, Power, LAN Ethernet [4],
WAN Ethernet, and USB), a Power switch, a Reset button, and a wireless antenna.
