Join the WiFi Network
To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming
device) to your router's WiFi network, you can use either the manual
method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.
Manual Method
1. Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections on the
computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your router.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Find and select your modem router's WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the product label.
3. Enter the router's password (or your custom password if you changed
it) and click the Connect button.
The password is on the product label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi devices
WPS Method
If your computer or WiFi device supports WPS, you can use WPS to join
the modem router's WiFi network. For help with the WPS button on your
computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help that came
with that computer or WiFi device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note:
WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security,
use the manual method.
1. Press the WPS button
on the router.
2. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its WPS
button or click its onscreen WPS button.
The WiFi LED
blinks green during the WPS process.
The computer or WiFi device connects to your router's WiFi network.
3. Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi devices to the
network.
