Add Wireless Devices or Computers to Your Network
Choose either the manual or the WPS method to add wireless devices and other equipment
to your wireless network. See
Guest Networks
on page
31 for instructions on 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 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 router.
3.
Enter the router password and click
Connect
. The default router passphrase is located on
the product label on the bottom of the 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 router so that every device in the
network has the same security settings.
To use WPS to join the wireless network:
If your wireless device supports WPS (Push 'N' Connect), follow these steps:
1.
Press the
WPS
button on the router top panel
.
2.
Within 2 minutes, press the
WPS
button on your wireless device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device. The device is now connected to your router.
3.
Repeat steps 1–2 to add other WPS wireless devices.

These fields display when your ISP requires a login:
•
Internet Service Provider Encapsulation
. ISP types. The choices are PPPoE, PPTP, or
L2TP.
•
Login
. The login name provided by your ISP. This is often an email address.
•
Password
. The password that you use to log in to your ISP.
•
Idle Timeout (In minutes)
. If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in
minutes. This determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active after
there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means never log
out.
Internet IP Address
.
•
Get Dynamically from ISP
. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP
automatically assigns these addresses.
•
Use Static IP Address
. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router will
connect.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses
based on their names.
•
Get Automatically from ISP
. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.
•
Use These DNS Servers
. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS
addresses to the router during login, select this option, and enter the IP address of your
ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
Router MAC Address
. The Ethernet MAC address used by the router on the Internet port.
Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when
your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic only from the MAC address of that
computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also
called cloning).
•
Use Default Address
. Use the default MAC address.
•
Use Computer MAC Address
. The router will capture and use the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using. You have to use the one computer that is allowed by
the ISP.
•
Use This MAC Address
. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
