Wireless Router Setup Manual

b.Push the wireless router’s dome for 5 seconds, then release. The dome lights should begin 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. For more information about security, see the Reference Manual that is available from a link on the Resource CD as well as a link in the main menu of your router.

c.While the dome lights are blinking, you have 2 minutes to enable WPS on the device you are trying to connect with the router. The blinking ceases when one of these two conditions occurs:

–WPS is enabled between the router and the other device you are connecting to.

–The 2-minute window period expires for establishing a WPS connection. Whether or not a connection is established, your router security and SSID (service set identification key) are now configured for WPS.

The lights return to off or antenna display, depending on how you have set them.

d.If after enabling WPS you need to connect a device that does not include WPS functionality, you will need to first log in to the router and obtain the security key. For more information, refer to “Accessing the Wireless Router after Installation and Checking for New Firmware” on page 16, and the online Reference Manual, available as a link on the Resource CD.

e.If you want to disable WPS, you have to reset your router to factory default settings. For information about resetting to the default settings, see “Restoring the Default Password and Configuration Settings” on page 32.
