The Thomson Gateway Wireless Access Point
5.1 Connecting Your Wireless Client via WPS
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local network in a swift and easy
way, without the need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).
Requirements
 Your wireless client must support WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.
 Your Thomson Gateway must use WPA(2)-PSK encryption (default encryption) or no encryption. WPS
with WEP encryption is not possible.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Shortly press the WPS button on the Thomson Gateway :
2 The WPS button LED starts blinking orange. This indicates that the Thomson Gateway is now searching
for wireless clients that are in registration mode. You now have two minutes to start WPS on your
wireless client.
3 Start WPS on your wireless client.
4 The Thomson Gateway is now exchanging the security settings.
5 At the end of the procedure the status of the WPS LED will change to either of the following:

Solid green
This indicates that you have successfully registered your wireless client. You are now connected to
the Thomson Gateway network.

Blinking red
This indicates that the Thomson Gateway could not find your wireless client. Use the same procedure
to try again (you do not need to wait until the LED turns off).
Both Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 have native WPS support.
