(The modem router has generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security [including a PSK security password] on the modem router, and has sent this configuration to the wireless client.) 5. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should see the modem router's Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute timeframe, security will not be implemented on the modem router.
