Check your online status again. Join the WiFi Network To connect your computer or WiFi device (such as a smartphone or gaming device) to your modem router's WiFi network, you can use either the manual method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method. Manual Method 1. Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections on the computer or WiFi device that you want to connect to your modem router. This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area. 2. Find and select your modem router's WiFi network name (SSID). The SSID is on the product label. 3. Enter the modem router's password (or your custom password if you changed it) and click the Connect button. The password is on the product label. 4. Repeat Steps 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or WiFi 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. 1. Press the WPS button on the modem router for 3-5 seconds. 2. Within two minutes, on your computer or WiFi device, press its WPS button or click its onscreen WPS button. The computer or WiFi device connects to your modem router's WiFi network. 3.
