Add Wireless Devices or Computers to Your Network

Choose either the manual or the WPS method to add wireless devices and other equipment to your wireless network. See Guest Networks on page 38 for instructions for how to set up a guest network.

Manual Method

To connect manually:

1.Open the software that manages your wireless connections on the wireless device (laptop computer, gaming device, iPhone) that you want to connect to your WiFi DSL modem router. This software scans for all wireless networks in your area.

2.Look for your network and select it. If you did not change the name of your network during the setup process, look for the default WiFi network name (SSID) and select it. The default SSID is located on the product label on the bottom of the WiFi DSL modem router.

3.Enter the WiFi DSL modem router password and click Connect. The default WiFi DSL modem router passphrase is located on the product label on the bottom of the WiFi DSL modem router.

4.Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to a home network while maintaining security. To use WPS, make sure that all wireless devices to be connected to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. During the connection process, the client gets the security settings from the WiFi DSL modem router so that every device in the network has the same security settings.

If your wireless device supports WPS (Push 'N' Connect), use the following procedure.
