Adding Both WPS and Non-WPS Clients

For non-WPS clients, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add them to the wireless network. You must record, and then manually enter your security settings (see “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3).

To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the gateway:

1.Restore the gateway to its factory default settings (press the Restore Factory Settings button located on the bottom of the gateway for 7 seconds).

When the factory settings are restored, all existing wireless clients are disassociated and disconnected from the gateway.

2.Configure the network name (SSID), select either the WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK radio button on the Wireless Settings screen (see “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security” on page 2-3). and click Apply. On the WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase and click Apply. Record this information to add additional clients.

3.For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the utility’s instructions to enter the security settings that you selected (the SSID, WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).

4.For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedure “Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-10or “Using a PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-12.

The settings that you configured are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they can connect to the gateway.
