Adding Computers to Your Network
Wireless devices such as computers, network printers, and gaming
systems can connect to your Router with a few simple steps.
Manual Setup
If you know what sort of Internet service you have,
you might try a manual setup. For this you will need a
Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Wirelessly Connect to Your Router
The default network name and password are
printed on the foot of the Router.
Use your computer, tablet, or smartphone to connect to
the wireless network shown on the network ID card.
When requested, please enter the password
(security key) provided on the card.
Using the WPS Button
Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your computer or
other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect wirelessly to your
Router. Often there will be a button for this purpose in software that
came with the device, or a physical “WPS” button on the device itself.
Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Router.
The WPS indicator will blink green while it listens for your
Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the light
will turn green for about 5 minutes and then go out. If a
connection is not established, the light will blink green
for 30s. You may repeat the process to try again.
You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled
device you’d like to add to your network.
