What is WPS?
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) provides a fast, simple, and secure way to connect WPS-enabled
devices to your Wi-Fi network. You don’t have to give the name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password of your
network to other users.
The WPS feature is available on certain cameras, printers, smartphones, and laptops. These
devices have either a hardware button or a WPS-related option in the software. Please consult the
user documentation of your device.
How do I Use WPS?
Please see
Connecting Through WPS
.
If a Wireless Device has a WPS Button or a WPS Software Option,
Must I Use it to Connect Via Wi-Fi?
If this is the only way your device provides to connect through Wi-Fi, then you must use the WPS
button or the WPS software option. Some laptops support two methods — a WPS button or
software option, and Wi-Fi network manager software where you can connect by entering the Wi-Fi
network name (SSID) and password, as described in
How Do I Connect to Wi-Fi?
.
Please consult the user documentation of your device.
What Should I Do If the Antenna Is Loose?
If you attached the antennas and they seem loose, remove the antennas and tighten the locking nuts
on the gateway as show. Then reattach the antennas. See
