the WPS-capable client. (For more information on setting up a mixed network, see the online User Manual. A link to the User Manual is on the Resource CD.)

If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS.

The following instructions assume that you are configuring WPS on the router for the first time and connecting a WPS-capable device such as a wireless computer or wireless adapter.

To connect a device using WPS:

1.Open the networking utility of the device you want to connect to that supports WPS.

2.Push the wireless router’s dome for 5 seconds, then release. The dome lights will start to blink.

While the router is in WPS enable mode (a maximum of 2 minutes), wireless security is not enabled.

Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at a range of several hundred feet. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls, and anyone with a compatible adapter can receive them, allowing others outside your immediate area to access your network.

3.While the dome lights are blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are connecting to. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs:

•WPS has enabled security between the router and the other device.The router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including a PSK security password) on the router and has sent this configuration to the wireless client.

•The 2-minute window period expires for establishing a connection using WPS. Whether or not a connection is established, your router security and SSID (wireless network name) are now configured for WPA/WPA2 security.

The dome lights will stop blinking or turn off, depending on how you have them configured.

4.Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network.
