AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100

WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your modem router network is open (no WiFi security is set, which is not the default setting for the modem router), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on the modem router network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase (see Manage the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network on page 73).

Use WPS with the Push Button Method

For you to use the push button method to connect a WiFi device to the modem router’s WiFi network, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must provide either a physical button or a software button. You can use the physical button and software button to let a WiFi device join only the main WiFi network, not the guest WiFi network.

To let a WiFi device join the modem router’s main WiFi network using WPS with the push button method:

1.Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

2.Type http://www.routerlogin.net. A login screen displays.

3.Enter the user name and password for the modem router.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

4.Click the OK button.

The BASIC Home screen displays.

5.Select ADVANCED > WPS Wizard.

The screen displays a description of the WPS method.

6.Click the Next button.

By default, the Push Button (recommended) radio button is selected.

7. Either click the

button onscreen or press the WPS button on the right side panel of the

modem router.
