Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 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, make sure that all wireless 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 has the same security settings.
 To use WPS to join the wireless network:
If your wireless device supports WPS (Push 'N' Connect), follow these steps:
1. Pre
ss the WPS button on the router front panel.
2. Within 2 minutes, press
the WPS button on your wireless device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device. The device is now connected to your router.
3. Repe
at steps 1–2 to add other WPS wireless devices.
