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 modem 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 modem router:
1. Make sure that the modem router has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or wireless device.
3. Press the WPS button on the side panel of the modem router for three seconds.
4. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your WiFi 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 modem router.

Types of Logins

Separate types of logins serve different purposes. This section describes the differences so
that you know which login to use when.
Types of logins:
• ISP login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you logs you in to your
Internet service. Your ISP gave you this login information in a letter or some other way. If
you cannot find this login information, contact your ISP.
• WiFi network key or password. Your modem router is preset with a unique WiFi
network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the product
label. Use this information to connect a WiFi device to the WiFi network of the modem
router.
• Modem router login. This logs you in to the modem router interface from an Internet
browser as admin.
