Join the WiFi Network
You can either use Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or select your WiFi
network and type its password. For help with the
WPS
button on
your computer or WiFi device, check the instructions or online help
that came with that computer or device. Some older equipment
cannot use WPS.

button.
The password is on the product label.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi
devices.
