Use the WPS Wizard to Add a Device to the WiFi Network

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the modem
router's network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a
WPS button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must
provide either a physical button or a software button. If you use the PIN method, you must
