Setting up a wireless connection

There are two ways that you can set up your wireless Home Network
connection.

Primary wireless network

Connect to the Internet and shared devices connected to your home
network through the Connection Hub. The wireless SSID (Network name)
and WPA2 password on the back of your Connection Hub are used for the
“Primary” wireless network.

Guest wireless network

Enables you to provide Internet access to guests and/or visitors but
prevents access to any of your shared documents on your home network.
An additional benefit is that you can preset the duration that you want the
Guest wireless network to be active before it automatically switches off.

By default, this feature is turned off. See page 14 for more details on

configuring this feature.

Follow these instructions to activate your Primary wireless Home
Networking connection.

Using Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS)

If your wireless client is equipped with a WPS push button, you may use it
to connect using the WPS button on the Connection Hub. This will allow
you to securely connect your computer to your wireless network without
having to setup any passwords. Note that this method will work even if
you have changed any passwords on your Connection Hub.

To do this:

•

•

Ensure both the Connection Hub and your computer are powered on.

Press and hold down the WPS button

on the front of the

Connection Hub until the WPS light starts blinking.
Your Connection Hub will search for a wireless client. Note: If the

Connection Hub does not find a wireless client within 2 minutes, it will
stop searching. Therefore, you will have to complete the next step
within 2 minutes.

On your wireless client, please hold down the WPS button for 5-10
seconds before releasing.

The password for your Primary wireless network will automatically be
loaded onto your wireless client.
