Method 3: Connect To A Non-Wps Wi-Fi Router - Philips DS9800WS User Manual

Tip
•
For some Wi-Fi routers, you may need to hold the
WPS button for Wi-Fi connection or enable the WPS
PBC function from the router configuration pages. See
the user manuals of the specific routers for details.
•
If the WI-FI STATUS indicator on DS9800WS stays
yellow, it means that the Wi-Fi connection has failed.
Please wait for 2 minutes and try again. If the problem
remains, try to set up the Wi-Fi connection manually
(see 'Method 3: Connect to a non-WPS Wi-Fi router'
on page 12).
•
If the Wi-Fi connection fails again, restart DS9800WS,
and then try again.
