Manually Connect to Your Wireless Network
You can user your Wi-Fi-enabled device to connect to the SBR-AC1900P by searching for the
network name assigned to your network. The default network name is listed on the security
label on the bottom of your Wi-Fi Router.
When prompted, enter your Wi-Fi Passcode to connect. The default passcode is listed on the
security label on the bottom of your Wi-Fi Router.
Use the WPS Button to Connect Your WPS-Enabled
Wireless Device
You can use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button on the Wi-Fi Router to connect your
WPS-enabled wireless devices. WPS automatically assigns a random wireless network name
(SSID) and Wi-Fi Security Key (password) to the SBR-AC1900P and other WPS-enabled wireless
devices to connect to your wireless network.
Note: To use the WPS Pairing button option, your computer hardware must support WPS and
also have WPA security compatibility.

wireless device.

to your wireless network.
