Connect a Wireless Client to your Router
WPS Button
The easiest and most secure way to connect your wireless devices to the router is with 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-859 router. 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-859 for about one second. The Power LED on the front will start to blink.
Step 2
- Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless client (or launch the software utility and start the WPS process).
Step 3
- Allow up to one minute for your connection to be configured. Once the Power LED stops blinking, you will be connected
and your wireless connection will be secure with WPA2.
