Connect to your wireless network using WPS
(Recommended) Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless router/access point supports WPS, you can use this
feature to easily connect wireless devices to your network.
1. Open up the wireless utility.
Note: You can typically find out if you if your wireless router/access point supports WPS
just by looking at the physical device. There should be a WPS push button located on the
exterior casing of the device, if not, your device may not support WPS or you may need
to reference your device documentation as to how WPS can be initiated on the deivce. If
your device does not have an identifiable WPS push button on the exterior location, we
would recommend using the standard connection method on the previous page.
2. Click on the WPS tab.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
•
(Recommended) Push Button Configuration (PBC) method
•
PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method
3. In the WPS window, the Push Button Configuration (PBC) option will be selected by
default. If not, check the PBC option.
4. Click Next.

5. On your wireless router/access point, push the WPS button.
Note: Typically, the WPS button hold time is 3-5 sec., then release. For TRENDnet
routers/access points, the WPS hardware push button hold time is 3 seconds. If you are
using another brand device, you may need to refer to your device documentation.
6. On the wireless utility, click Start.

8. If successful, you will see the following message at the top and the connection
information at the bottom of the utility will appear.
Note: If the WPS process fails, you will see the message below and connection
information at the bottom of the utility will not be displayed. You may need to click Back
and attempt the WPS process again. You may need to refer to your wireless
router/access point documentation regarding the operation of WPS.
7. A message will appear at the top of the utility indicating that the WPS process has
been activated. Wait for the process to complete.

Create or modify wireless network profiles
Wireless network profiles are profiles that define the parameters of an existing network
such as the wireless network name (SSID) and security settings in order to allow for
easier management especially if you connect to multiple wireless networks. When you
connect to a wireless network using the Available Networks window, a profile for that
network is automatically saved to your profile list so that the next time you are in range
of that network, your computer will automatically connect to that predefined wireless
network without having to manually scan and reconnect to the network.
When a parameter (wireless network name or security key) changes in a wireless
network that you had connected to before and saved to the profile list, you may need to
modify the profile of that network and change to the correct parameters in order to
reconnect.
If you are connecting to a wireless network where the wireless network name (SSID) is
not discoverable for security purposes, you may need to manually add a new profile to
the list for this network in order to connect.
You can either create a new wireless network profile or modify an existing profile in the
list.
a. New Profile
Click New to create a new profile.
OR
b. Modify an existing Profile
To modify an existing profile, click the profile in the list.
Please note that these parameters are set based on the configuration parameters
required by the wireless router/access point.
For additional information on security parameters, you can refer to the Appendix.
1. Open up the wireless utility.
Click Properties.
2. Click on the Profile Management tab.
