Add Wireless Devices or Computers to Your Network

to your wireless network. See
Guest Networks
on page 40 for instructions for how to set up a
guest network.
Manual Method
To connect manually:
1.
Open the software that manages your wireless connections on the wireless device
(laptop computer, gaming device, iPhone) that you want to connect to your WiFi modem
router. This software scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2.
Look for your network and select it. If you did not change the name of your network during
the setup process, look for the default WiFi network name (SSID) and select it. The default
SSID is located on the product label on the bottom of the WiFi modem router.
3.
Enter the WiFi modem router password and click
Connect
. The default WiFi modem router
passphrase is located on the product label on the bottom of the WiFi modem router.
4.
Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to
a home network while maintaining security. To use WPS, make sure that all wireless devices
to be connected to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. During the connection
process, the client gets the security settings from the WiFi modem router so that every device
in the network has the same security settings.
If your wireless device supports WPS (Push 'N' Connect), use the following procedure.
To use WPS to join the wireless network:
1.
Press the
WPS
button on the WiFi modem router top panel.
