5 Configuring the Wireless Connection
If a wireless network adapter is installed on your computer, you can connect you
computer to the HG655d through a wireless connection.
The hardware installation methods and driver installation methods of
wireless network adapters provided by different companies vary from each
other. For details, see the installation guide provided by the wireless
network adapter provider.
5.1 Setting Up a Wireless Connection by WPS
The HG655d supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function. If your network
adapter also supports the WPS function, you can use the WPS function to set up a
wireless connection between your PC and the HG655d quickly.

cannot be enabled. Note that the WPS function can be used only when the
wireless network function is enabled and the wireless network security
mode of the WLAN is set to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
Step 3 Enable the WPS negotiation function of the wireless network adapter on your
PC within two minutes, and then wait for a moment (typically 10s and at most
2mins).
The WPS indicator of the HG655d becomes on from the blinking state, indicating that
the HG655d is connected to your PC through the WLAN.
5.2 Setting Up a Wireless Connection Manually
If your network adapter does not support the WPS function, you can set up a wireless
connection between your PC and the HG655d manually.
To manually set up a wireless connection, use either of the following methods:
zUse the tool provided by your network adapter.
14

For details, see the user guide of your network adapter.
zUse the wireless configuration software provided by the operating system of your
PC.
If your PC runs on Windows XP, you can use the Wireless Zero Configuration that is
provided by Windows XP to set up a wireless connection between your PC and the
HG655d.
Takes Windows XP as an example, to set up a wireless connection, do as follows:
Step 1 Enable the wireless network function, and set the wireless network name and
access password of the HG655d.
