How to connect a computer to your network
You can connect a computer to your network using an Easy Setup Key (the
easiest way) or manually .
How to connect a computer using an Easy Setup Key
To use an Easy Setup Key, you first need to create one using any available USB
drive . After it has been created, you can use the same key to connect several
computers to your network .
TIP
The Easy Setup Key stores network information (name, password,
security type, and security key) so you don’t have to remember
them .
To create an Easy Setup Key:
1.
Run Cisco Connect, then click
Add device
under
Computers and devices
.
The
Computers and other devices
screen opens .
2.
Click
Computer

3.

, then click
next
.
4.
Insert a USB drive into an available USB port on your computer . This USB
drive will be your new Easy Setup Key .
Cisco Connect detects the newly attached USB drive and copies the
router’s settings and a copy of Cisco Connect to it .
5.
When the files have finished copying, remove the Easy Setup Key from
your computer . You can now use it to install Cisco Connect onto other
computers and to connect them to the network .
