Use WPS With the Push Button Method
For you to use the push button method to connect a WiFi device to the router’s WiFi
network, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must provide either a physical
button or a software button. You can use the physical button and software button to let
a WiFi device join only the main WiFi network, not the guest WiFi network.
To let a WiFi device join the router’s main WiFi network using WPS with the push
button method:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > WPS Wizard.
The page displays a description of the WPS method.
5. Click the Next button.
By default, the Push Button (recommended) radio button is selected.
6. Either click the button onscreen or press the WPS button on the right side panel
of the router.
For two minutes, the router attempts to find the WiFi device (that is, the client) that
you want to join the router’s main WiFi network.
During this time, the WiFi LED on the top panel of the router blinks.
7. Within two minutes, go to the WiFi device and press its WPS button to join the
router’s main WiFi network without entering a password.
After the router establishes a WPS connection, the WiFi LED lights a solid color and
the Add WPS Client page displays a confirmation message.
8.
To verify that the WiFi device is connected to the router’s main WiFi network, select
BASIC > Attached Devices.
The WiFi device displays onscreen.
