Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your wireless access point is WPS certified: You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your wireless access point. For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your wireless access point, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point or contact your system support person.
