Chapter 4: Setting up a Wi-Fi network connection
Connect your WPS-enabled device
You can use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Pairing button on the SVG2482AC to connect
your WPS-enabled devices. WPS automatically assigns a random Wi-Fi network name
(SSID) and Wi-Fi Security Key (network password) to the SVG2482AC and your other WPS-
enabled devices to connect them to your Wi-Fi home network. See
(page 36) for information on setting up WPS on your wireless network.
Note:
To use the WPS Pairing button option, your client device hardware must
support WPS and have WPA security compatibility.
1. Power ON the SVG2482AC and your other WPS-enabled devices that you want to
connect to your wireless network.
2. Press and hold the button located on the top of the SVG2482AC for five to 10 seconds
and then release (see WPS for the SVG2482AC front view).
3. If applicable, press the button on your WPS-enabled device or other WPS
WPS-enabled device.
4. Repeat step 3 for each additional WPS-enabled device that you want to connect to your
wireless network.
Test your Wi-Fi network connection
Perform the following connectivity test to check that Wi-Fi network connections were
established for the SVG2482AC and the other Wi-Fi devices on your home network:
1. Check if your Wi-Fi devices successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network, then
disconnect the Ethernet cable, if connected, from the SVG2482AC and your client
device(s).
2. Check that the Wireless LEDs on the SVG2482AC front panel light up SOLID.
3. Open a web browser on your client device, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome,
Firefox, or Safari.
