GETTING STARTED

When finished installing optional software, click “Thanks, take me to the dashboard.”

Congratulations! You are now at your Router’s dashboard. Your Router is set up and ready to use.

Using the WPS Button

1..Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your computer or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect wirelessly to your Router. Often there will be a button for this purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical “WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself.

2..Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Router and hold for two seconds.

The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the light will turn blue and then go out. If a connection is not established, the light will blink amber. You may repeat the process to try again.

You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled device you’d like to add to your network.
