Wireless Router Setup Manual

Figure 4

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.

To turn the antenna display lights on or off:

a.Push the dome for less than 2 seconds, then release. If lights are off, they will turn on.

b.Push the dome for less than 2 seconds, then release. If lights are on, they will turn off.

2.Wi-Fi Protected Setup (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. If you do not have any other WPS-enabled devices, there is no need to open the 2 minute period when security will be disabled, or to configure your router security for WPS.

To connect to another device using WPS:

a.Open the networking utility of the device that supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) and follow the utility’s instructions for when to proceed to step b.
