Connect to the LAN of the access point/router through an
Ethernet cable
You can connect a computer or other LAN device to the access point/router using an
Ethernet cable and join the access point/router's local area network (LAN).
To connect a computer or LAN device to the access point/router with an Ethernet
cable:
1. Make sure that the access point/router is receiving power and is connected to the
Internet (both its Power LED and Internet LED are lit).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the computer or LAN device.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the access
point/router.
You can use any of the four LAN ports on the access point/router.

one of the LAN ports on the access point/router.
Your computer or LAN device connects to the local area network (LAN). A message
might display on your computer screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is

Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to join the WiFi network of the
access point/router
You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to add a WiFi device such as a WiFi-enabled
computer, tablet, or smartphone to the WiFi network of the access point/router.
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 access point/router
so that every device in the network supports the same security settings.
To use WPS to connect a device to the WiFi network of the access point/router:
1. Make sure that the access point/router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit) and
is connected to the Internet (its Internet LED is lit), and that the WiFi radios are on
(its WiFi LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or WiFi device.
3. Press the WPS button of the access point/router for three seconds.
