Add Wireless Devices or Computers to Your Network

Choose either the manual or the WPS method to add wireless devices and other equipment

to your wireless network. See Guest Networks on

page 26 for instructions on how to set up a

guest network.

Manual Method

 To connect manually:

1. Open

the software that manages your wireless connections on the wireless device

(laptop computer, gaming device, iPhone) that you want to connect to your router. This

software scans for all wireless networks in your area.

2. Look for your net

work and select it. If you did not change the name of your network during

the setup process, look for the default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and select it. The default

SSID is located on the product label on the bottom of the router.

3. Ente

r the router password and click Connect. The default router passphrase is located on

the product label on the bottom of the router.

4. Repe

at steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.

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.
