Once you have a good signal indicated on the front of
the router, you will be able to access the Internet on any
Ethernet or Wi-Fi connected devices.
• Connect Wi-Fi devices (like smartphones, laptops,
etc.) by choosing the router’s Wi-Fi network (SSID),
which is shown on the label on the bottom of the
router. Then enter the password (WPA/WPA2) on the
label.
• The router’s Wi-Fi network is turned on by default.
For details about how to manually enable or disable
the Wi-Fi function, refer to the WLAN settings section
of the online help on the web page.
