The top of the wireless router includes a dome that performs two functions:

1.Antenna display lights. The lights identify the activity of the eight internal antennas, flashing to show which combination of antennas is receiving the strongest signals. These status lights are off by default but can be turned on.

2.Push 'N' Connect (WPS). The dome acts as a push-button for the router to enable WPS security with other WPS-enabled devices. Pushing on the dome for over 5 seconds opens a 2- minute window for the router to connect with other WPS-enabled devices.

Before using these WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) push-button procedures, verify that your device (a notebook, adapter, or other device) supports WPS.

To use the WPS method to implement security, see “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 23.
