The top of the wireless router includes a dome that performs two functions:
• Antenna display lights. The lights identify which of the seven internal antennas are active.
The lights flash according to the direction of the wireless signal. These status lights are off by
default but can be turned on.
• Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). Pushing on the dome opens a 2 minute window for the router
to enable WPS security with other WPS-enabled devices.
To turn the antenna display lights on or off:
Push the dome for less than 2 seconds, then release. If lights are off they will turn on.

While the router is in WPS enable mode (a maximum of 2 minutes), wireless
security is not enabled. Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at a
range of several hundred feet. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data
transmissions can extend beyond your walls and anyone with a compatible adapter
can receive them, allowing others outside of your immediate area to access your
network. For more information on security, see the Reference Manual that is
available from a link on the Resource CD as well as a link in the main menu of your
router.
