3.1Connecting Your Wireless Client via WPS

WPS

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 your wireless settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).

Requirements

Your wireless client must support WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.

Your Thomson Gateway must use WPA(2)-PSK encryption (default encryption) or no encryption. WPS with WEP encryption is not possible.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1Shortly press the WPS button on the Thomson Gateway:

2The WPS button LED starts blinking orange. This indicates that the Thomson Gateway is now searching for wireless clients that are in registration mode. You now have two minutes to start WPS on your wireless client.

3Start WPS on your wireless client.

The WPS button LED is solid green

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