do the following to connect your computer to the HG630 wirelessly:

Step 1

Press and hold the

WPS

button on the HG630's side panel for more

than 1 second.

The

WPS

indicator on the HG630 starts blinking, indicating that the

WPS negotiation is in progress.

minutes.

Wait for a while, the

WPS

indicator on the HG630 stops blinking and

turns steady on, indicating that a wireless connection is set up

between the HG630 and computer.

The

WPS

indicator is on for about 300 seconds and then turns off.

3.2 Setting Up a Wireless Connection Manually

If your network adapter does not support the WPS function, you can also set up

a wireless connection manually. The following example uses a computer

running the Window XP operating system to describe how to set up a wireless

connection using the default wireless network name and password:

Windows 7 supports the WPS function. Windows XP supports the

WPS function using the wireless network adapter.
