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

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 wireless 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.
