(or a software utility with WPS) that you can press to connect to the DIR-818LW router. Please refer to your user manual for the
wireless device you want to connect to make sure you understand how to enable WPS. Once you know, follow the steps below:
Step.1
- Press the WPS button on the DIR-818LW for about 1 second. The Internet LED on the front will start to blink.
Step.3
- Allow up to 1 minute to configure. Once the Internet light stops blinking, you will be connected and your wireless
connection will be secure with WPA2.
