Join the WiFi Network

You can either select your modem router's WiFi network and type its
password or use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Manual Method
1. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi
connection manager that manages your WiFi connections.
The WiFi connection manager scans for WiFi networks in your area.
2. Find and select your modem router's WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the modem router label.
3. Enter the modem router's password (or your custom password if you
changed it) to connect.
The password is on the modem router label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to connect other WiFi-enabled
computers or mobile devices.
WPS Method
For help with the WPS button on your WPS-enabled device, check
the instructions or online help that came with that device. Some older
equipment cannot use WPS.
Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security,
use the manual method.
1. Press the WPS button on the modem router for three to five seconds.
2. Within two minutes, on your WPS-enabled device, press its
WPS button or click its onscreen WPS button.
The WPS-enabled device connects to your modem router's WiFi
network.
3. Repeat this process to add other WPS-enabled devices to the network.
