- Within two 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-868L 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-868L
for about one second. The Internet LED
on the front will start to blink.
Step 3
- Allow up to one minute to configure. Once the Internet light stops blinking, you will be connected and your wireless
connection will be secure with WPA2.
