Join the Wireless Network
You can use either the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method or the
manual method to join your wireless network.
WPS Method
WPS lets you join your WiFi network without typing the password.
If your wireless device supports WPS, the first time you join the
network, you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the
router.
To join the network using WPS:
1. Press the WPS button on the router.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the computer or
wireless device that is trying to join the network. Follow the WPS
instructions that came with your computer or wireless device to
join the network.
Note: Some older wireless computers or devices cannot use WPS.
Manual Method
To join the network manually:
1. On your computer or wireless device, open the software that
manages its wireless connections. This software scans for
wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for the WiFi network name (SSID) on the list and select it.
The SSID is on the label on the bottom of the router.
If you changed the name of your network during the setup
process, look for that network name.
3. Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you
changed it), and click Connect.
