WPS Button
Step	2 -  Within  2  minutes,  press  the  WPS  button  on  your  wireless  client  (or  launch  the  software  utility  and  start  the  WPS 
process).
The easiest and most secure way to connect your wireless devices to the router is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Most wireless 
devices such as wireless adapters, media players, Blu-ray DVD players, wireless printers and cameras will have a WPS button 
(or a software utility with WPS) that you can press to connect to the DIR-506L router. Please refer to your user manual for the 
wireless device you want to connect to make sure you understand how to enable WPS. Once you know, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - 
Press  the  WPS  button  on  the  DIR-506L  for  about  1 
second. The WPS button will start to blink.
Step 3 -  Allow  up  to  1  minute  to  configure.  Once  the  WPS  light  stops  blinking,  you  will  be  connected  and  your  wireless 
connection will be secure with WPA2.
