Connect to your wireless network using WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless router/access point supports WPS, you can use this
feature to easily connect wireless devices to your network.
Note: You can typically find out if you if your wireless router/access point supports WPS
just by looking at the physical device. There should be a WPS push button located on the
exterior casing of the device, if not, your device may not support WPS or you may need
to reference your device documentation as to how WPS can be initiated on the device. If
your device does not have an identifiable WPS push button on the exterior location, we
would recommend using the standard connection method on the previous page.
