Connect a Wireless Client to your Router
WPS Button
Step.2
- Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless client (or launch the software utility and start the WPS
process).
The easiest and most secure way to connect your wireless devices to the router is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Most wireless
devices such as wireless adapters, media players, Blu-ray DVD players, wireless printers and cameras will have a WPS button
(or a software utility with WPS) that you can press to connect to the DIR-825 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-825 for about 1
second. The WPS button will start to blink.
Step.3
- Allow up to 1 minute to configure. Once the WPS light stops blinking, you will be connected and your wireless
connection will be secure with WPA2.
