Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your network in a swift and easy way, without the need to enter all of your wireless settings (SSID, encryption,...).

This indicates that you have successfully registered your wireless client. You are now connected to the Thomson Gateway network.

The WPS button LED is blinking red
