Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to Telephony
Gateway. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to access the

supported via Ethernet. Please note the device SSID and Wi-Fi security key can be found on
the label which is located underneath the TG3442S device.

Connect Your WPS-Enabled Wireless Device
You can use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button on the Telephony Gateway to connect
your WPS-enabled wireless devices to your wireless network. WPS automatically assigns a
random wireless network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi Security Key (password) to the TG3442S and
other WPS-enabled wireless devices to connect to your wireless network. See for more
information on setting up WPS on your wireless network.
Note
: To use the WPS Pairing button option, your computer hardware must support WPS and
also have WPA security compatibility.
