Note: Your Router has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its
configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one
or the other.
Note: It doesn't matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The Router sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two
minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the Router securely.
