Join the WiFi Network
To connect your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or

the manual method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.
Manual Method
1. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi
connection manager that manages your WiFi connections.
The WiFi connection manager scans for WiFi networks in your area.
2. Find and select your modem routers WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the modem router label.
3. Enter the modem routers password (or your custom password if you
changed it) to connect.
The password is on the modem router label.

computers or mobile devices.
WPS Method
For help with the WPS button on your computer or WiFi device, check the
instructions or online help that came with that computer or WiFi device. Some
older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security, use
the manual method.

2. Within two minutes, on your WPS-enabled device, press its
WPS button or click its onscreen WPS button.
