WPS Button Connection

The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set up and connections. To use WPS, the connecting device must support WPS and be compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security. WPS can automatically set up a random network name and WPA wireless security for wireless Wi-Fi phones, routers, access points, computers, adapters, and other electronic devices.

WPS allows you to push buttons instead of entering a network name and wireless security PIN.

1.Press and then tap (Settings) Wireless and network Wi-Fi settings.

2.Tap WPS button connection.

3.Press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi access point within 2 minutes.

Manually Adding a Wi-Fi Network

1.Press and then tap (Settings) Wireless and network Wi-Fi settings.

2.Tap Wi-Fito turn it on.

3.Tap Add Wi-Fi network.

4.Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and Security settings then tap Save.

Note: An SSID is a unique key which identifies a wireless LAN. Its purpose is to stop other wireless equipment from accessing your LAN — whether accidentally or intentionally. To communicate, wireless devices must be configured with the same SSID.
