CONFIGURING THE GATEWAY (cont.)

WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) wireless setup

WPS is a quick way to set up the gateway's wireless network automatically 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
(shown right) on all the computers that will connect wirelessly to the gateway.
If you do not see this symbol on all the computers that will connect to the wireless
network, manually set up your network first. After that, you can still use WPS to set
up the wireless connection for the computers that support WPS.
Note: All WPS-capable products should be compatible with the gateway. For more
information about the WPS standard, see http://www.wi-fi.org.
Using the WPS button
The WPS button, located at the bottom of the gateway's front panel. The gateway
supports WPS, a quick and easy way to set up a secure Wi-Fi network. However, your
laptops, tablets, and mobile devices must be WPS-compatible to do so.
If you are not sure whether your devices support WPS, check them for the WPS label
(shown above).
If you cannot find it, the device most likely does not support WPS and you will have to
use the manual setup method. If your device does support WPS:
1. Press the WPS button on your device (refer to the device's manual).
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on the front of the gateway:
A message appears when the connection succeeds. If it fails, wait a few minutes, and
then connect another device using WPS.
