settings as the gateway.

• The default wireless network name (SSID) for the gateway is shown on the product label.

This product comes with a preconfigured Wi-Fi SSID and passphrase.

• By default the gateway works with WPA and WPA 2 wireless security. The default

passphrase is shown on the product label.

To use Push 'N' Connect (WPS), your wireless computers and equipment have to support WPS

technology.

Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup

Push 'N' Connect (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your gateway’s wireless

network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same time. WPS, also

called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is a relatively new technology, so before you decide to use it,

check to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS. Look for the

symbol on all the computers that will connect wirelessly to the gateway.

If you do not see the symbol on all the computers that will connect to the wireless

network, then you should manually set up your network first (see Wireless Configuration ).

After that, you can still use WPS to set up the wireless connection for the computers that

support WPS.

Note: All WPS-capable products should be compatible with the gateway.

For more detailed information about the WPS standard, see

http://www.wi-fi.org).

To use Push 'N' Connect (WPS), your wireless computers and equipment must support WPS

technology. There are two Push 'N' Connect methods, Push Button and PIN (personal

identification number).

• Push Button. This is the preferred method.

• PIN described below.

WPS Button

You can use the WPS button to automatically set up wireless settings in your gateway and to

set up your wireless computer to connect to it.
