Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Connect to a Wireless

Network

This feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard (for more information, see

http://www.wi-fi.org). WPS automatically configures the network name (SSID) and wireless

security for the access point or router and the wireless-N USB adapter. Note that WPS is not a new

security feature—it makes existing security features easier to configure.

To use WPS with your wireless-N USB adapter you need:

• An access point or router that supports WPS. It will have a WPS symbol.
