WPS/WCN 2.0

The router supports Wi-Fi protection, referred to as WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista®. The following instructions for setting this up

depends on whether you are using Windows Vista® to configure the router or third party software.

When you first set up the router, Wi-Fi protection is disabled and not configured. To enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi protection, the

router must be both enabled and configured. There are three basic methods to accomplish this: use Windows Vista’s built-in

support for WCN 2.0, use software provided by a third party, or manually configure.

If you are running Windows Vista®, log into the router and click the

Enable

checkbox in the

Basic

>

Wireless

section. Use the

Current PIN that is displayed on the

Advanced

>

Wi-Fi.Protected.Setup

section or choose to click the

Generate.New.PIN

button or

Reset.PIN.to.Default

button.

If you are using third party software to set up Wi-Fi Protection, carefully follow the directions. When you are finished, proceed

to the next section to set up the newly-configured router.
