Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup

Push 'N' Connect (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your gateway’s wireless

network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same time. WPS, also

called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is relatively new technology, so before you decide to use it,

check to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS. Look for the

symbol on all the computers that will connect wirelessly to the gateway.

If you do not see the

symbol on all the computers that will connect to the wireless

network, then you should manually set up your network first (see

Manually Configure The

Wireless Settings

). After that, you can still use WPS to set up the wireless connection for the

computers that support WPS.

Note:

All WPS-capable products should be compatible with the gateway.

For more detailed information about the WPS standard, see

http://www.wi-fi.org

).

There are two Push 'N' Connect methods, Push Button and PIN (personal identification

number).

Block Keywords, Sites, and Services

With its content filtering feature, the gateway prevents objectionable content from reaching

your computers. The gateway allows you to control access to Internet content by screening

for keywords within Web addresses. It can also block access to all sites except those that are

explicitly allowed. For example, you can set up the gateway to do the following:

•

Block access from to Internet locations that contain keywords that you specify.

•

Block access to websites that you specify as off-limits.

•

Allow access to only websites that you specify as allowed.
