D-Link DIR-2640 User Manual

Section 7 - Connect a Wireless Client to your Router

The following window appears while your computer tries to connect to the 

router.

Enter the same security key or passphrase (Wi-Fi password) that is on your 

router and click 

OK

. You can also connect by pushing the WPS button on the 

router.

It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless network. If the 

connection fails, please verify that the security settings are correct. The key 

or passphrase must be exactly the same as the one on the wireless router.
