Setting Up A Wireless Connection - Bell Fibe Internet Reference Manual

Setting up a wireless connection

There are two ways that you can set up your wireless Home Network
connection.
Primary wireless network
Connect to the Internet and shared devices connected to your home
network through the Connection Hub. The wireless SSID (Network name)
and WPA2 password on the back of your Connection Hub are used for the
"Primary" wireless network.
Guest wireless network
Enables you to provide Internet access to guests and/or visitors but
prevents access to any of your shared documents on your home network.
An additional benefit is that you can preset the duration that you want the
Guest wireless network to be active before it automatically switches off.
By default, this feature is turned off. See page 18 for more details on
configuring this feature.
Follow these instructions to activate your Primary wireless Home
Networking connection.
Using Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS)
If your wireless client is equipped with a WPS push button, you may use it
to connect using the WPS button on the Connection Hub. This will allow
you to securely connect your computer to your wireless network without
having to setup any passwords. Note that this method will work even if
you have changed any passwords on your Connection Hub.
To do this:
• E nsure both the Connection Hub and your computer are powered on.
• P ress and hold down the WPS button
Connection Hub until the WPS light starts blinking.
• Y our Connection Hub will search for a wireless client. Note: If the
Connection Hub does not find a wireless client within 2 minutes, it will
stop searching. Therefore, you will have to complete the next step
within 2 minutes.
• O n your wireless client, please hold down the WPS button for 5-10
seconds before releasing.
• T he password for your Primary wireless network will automatically be
loaded onto your wireless client.
