Connect Wireless Devices

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ Devices

See your wireless device's documentation to determine if it can connect to the Wireless MAXg Router using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. WPS devices use a push button or PIN to connect to the network. See your wireless device's documentation to determine which method you should use to connect to the router, and how to locate the push button or PIN for the device.

1. Be ready to start WPS on your wireless device.

2. Log in to the router configuration pages.

3. On the Status page, click Add wireless device.

   

4. Do one of the following:
   • To connect a WPS device using a push button, click Find Device, then push the WPS button on the device.

    

   • To connect a WPS device using a PIN, enter the device's PIN and click Add Device, then start WPS on the device.

 

The wireless device detects the wireless security settings of the router and creates a secure wireless connection to the network.

All Other Devices
