The utility will then scan for a wireless router currently accepting PBC requests.

If the scan is successful, the main Profile List screen displays and the network

name now has a preceding check mark.

Should you instead see the screen below, something went wrong. Either the WPS

button wasn’t pressed on the wireless router, or you didn’t press the Start PBC

button within two minutes after the button on the wireless router was pressed. If

you see the screen below, click on the Stop symbol (circled in red) to cancel the

scan attempt and try again.
