Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to a home network
while maintaining security. To use WPS (Push 'N' Connect), make sure that all WiFi devices to be connected
to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. During the connection process, the client gets the
security settings from the router so that every device in the network supports the same security settings.
To use WPS to connect a computer or mobile device to the WiFi network of the router:
1. Make sure that the router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or mobile device.
3. Press the WPS button of the router for three seconds.
4. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your computer or mobile device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up the device with the network password and connects the device
to the WiFi network of the router.

Types of Logins

Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand the difference so that
you know which login to use when.
Several types of logins are associated with the router:
• ISP login. The login that your ISP gave you logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider
gave you this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information,
contact your service provider.
• WiFi network key or password. Your router is preset with a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and
password for WiFi access. This information is on the router label.
• Router login. This logs you in to the router interface from a web browser as admin.

Use a Web Browser to Access the Router

When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a web browser
to access the router to view or change its settings. When you access the router, the software automatically
checks to see if your router can connect to your Internet service.
