In the default setting, if no wireless device is connected to the product
for approximately one minute, it will automatically switch to standby
mode. Operations such as connecting to the Internet do not work while
the unit is in standby mode. But the system will recover to its normal
operating status either by pressing the power button or by connecting
a wireless device to the product. However, the system will not shift to
standby mode while power is being supplied or when it is connected to a
wired port.

Refer to the Reference Guide for details on other connecting methods.
See page 58 in this manual on reference method.
For Windows 7/Vista
FollowtheprocedurebelowtoconnecttothisdeviceusingAOSS/WPS(push-button
type)onapersonalcomputerrunningWindows7orVista.
In setting AOSS/WPS (push-button type), the personal computer and this
device establish a 1-to-1 relationship. For that reason, you cannot
connect another device with AOSS/WPS (push-button type) while it is
being set. To connect multiple devices to one BF-01C unit, connect
another device after completing the AOSS/WPS (push-button type)
connection.
