Connect Using WCN 2.0
The router supports Wi-Fi protection, referred to as WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista
®
. The following instructions for setting this up depends on whether
you are using Windows Vista
®
to configure the router or third party software.
When you first set up the router, Wi-Fi protection is disabled and unconfigured. To enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi protection, the router must be both
enabled and configured. There are three basic methods to accomplish this: use Windows Vista’s built-in support for WCN 2.0, use software provided
by a third party, or manually configure.
If you are running Windows Vista
®
, log into the router and click the
Enable
checkbox in the
Basic
>
Wireless
section. Use the Current PIN that is
displayed on the
Advanced
>
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
section or choose to click the
Generate New PIN
button or
Reset PIN to Default
button.
If you are using third party software to set up Wi-Fi Protection, carefully follow the directions. When you are finished, proceed to the next section
to set up the newly-configured router.
