Connect Your WPS-Enabled Device

You can use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Pairing button on the SVG2482AC to connect

your WPS-enabled devices. WPS automatically assigns a random wireless network name (SSID)

and Wi-Fi Security Key (network password) to the SVG2482AC and your other WPS-enabled

devices to connect them to your wireless network. See Set Up WPS on Your Wireless Network

(page 36) for information on setting up WPS on your wireless network.

Note: To use the WPS Pairing button option, your client device hardware must support WPS

and also have WPA security compatibility.

1. Power ON the SVG2482AC and your other WPS-enabled devices that you want to connect

to your wireless network.

2. Press and hold the WPS button located on the top of the SVG2482AC for five to 10

seconds and then release (see Front Panel (page 13) for the SVG2482AC front view).

3. If applicable, press the WPS button on your WPS-enabled device or other

WPS-enabled device.

4. Repeat step 3 for each additional WPS-enabled device that you want to connect to your

wireless network.

Test Your Wireless Network Connection

Perform the following connectivity test to check that wireless connections were established

for the SVG2482AC and the other wireless devices on your home network:

1. Check if your wireless devices successfully connected to your wireless network, then

disconnect the Ethernet cable, if connected, from the SVG2482AC and your client

device(s).

2. Check that the Wireless LEDs on the SVG2482AC front panel light up SOLID.

3. Open a web browser on your client device, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome,

Firefox, or Safari.

4. Type a valid URL (such as www.SURFboard.com) in the address bar and then press Enter.
