needs.
Wireless > Basic Settings
Setting up your residential gateway for wireless communication provides you with
the freedom to connect to the Internet from any location within range of the WAP
without having to use wired connections. Select the Basic Settings tab to open the
Wireless Basic Settings page.
The Wireless Basic Settings page allows you to choose your wireless network mode
and other basic features.
Wireless Network: Enable or Disable

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
When you select Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) as your wireless configuration, many
settings will be pre-configured. WPS allows simplified setup that allows you to
easily attach new WPA-enabled devices to your network.
Important: When using WPS mode, WEP is not supported. If you must use WEP
encryption, WPS must be disabled by setting the Wireless Configuration to Manual.
Note: WPS is the default setting.
