Wireless-N ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2000 Reference Manual
If a connection is established, the modem router WPS screen displays a message
confirming that the wireless client was successfully added to the wireless network. (The
modem router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security
[including a PSK security password] on the modem router, and has sent this configuration
to the wireless client.)
5. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch a browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should see the modem router's Internet LED blink, indicating
communication to the ISP.
Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute timeframe,
security will not be implemented on the modem router.

Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup

You can add more WPS clients to your wireless network, or you can add a combination of
WPS-enabled clients and clients without WPS.
Note: Your wireless settings remain the same when you add another WPS-enabled client,
as long as the Keep Existing Wireless Settings checkbox is selected in the
Advanced WPS Settings screen (listed under the Advanced heading in the modem
router main menu). If you clear this checkbox, when you add the client, a new
SSID and passphrase will be generated, and all existing connected wireless clients
will be disassociated and disconnected from the modem router.
To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:
1. Follow the procedures in
Network and Security" on page
2. To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless and Ethernet-
connected), see
