Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup

Push 'N' Connect (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your gateway's wireless
network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same time. WPS, also
called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is relatively new technology, so before you decide to use it,
check to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS. Look for the
symbol on all the computers that will connect wirelessly to the gateway.
If you do not see the
network, then you should manually set up your network first (see
Wireless Settings). After that, you can still use WPS to set up the wireless connection for the
computers that support WPS.
