6 Setting Up a Wireless Connection

Before setting up a Wi-Fi connection, ensure that a wireless network adapter has been installed on your computer. If the wireless network adapter is functioning correctly, you will be able to find a wireless network connection in your computer's connection manager application.

6.1 Turning the Router's Wi-Fi On or Off

By default, the router's Wi-Fi automatically turns on when the router is functioned on.

To manually turn Wi-Fi on, press and hold until turns steady on.

To manually turn Wi-Fi off, press and hold for 2 seconds, and

then release your finger. The indicator turns off.

6.2 Setting Up a Wi-Fi Connection Manually

1.Ensure that is steady on.

2.Scan for available wireless network connections using your computer's connection manager application.

3.Connect to the wireless network that has the same service set identification (SSID) as the router.

If a security mechanism has been enabled for the wireless network connection, enter the correct Wi-Fi key.

The default SSID and Wi-Fi key are printed on the router label.

To protect your wireless network from unauthorized access, change the SSID and Wi-Fi key. For details, see the help information on the web management page.
