Check that the security settings on each wireless device match the security settings of the
router. For example, if you selected a security option requiring a passphrase, then the same
passphrase must be used for each wireless computer.

DHCP from the router.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your wireless modem router, launch a

Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the router’s SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client securely
and easily to the router. Look for the

WPS automatically
configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the router (if the router is in its default state)
and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
If the router has already been configured manually, and either WPS-PSK or WPA2-PSK security
has been enabled, a wireless client can be connected quickly and simply by using the WPS method
of connecting to the wireless network. In this case, the existing wireless settings are broadcast to
the WPS-capable client. (For more information on setting up a mixed network, see the on-line
User Manual. A link to the User Manual is on the Resource CD.).
For a Windows PC, go to the Control Panel and select Network Connections.
Check the Wireless Connections Properties and ensure that TCP/IP Properties
are set to Obtain an IP address automatically.

standard. All other Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible

If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS.
