Connect Using WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista® 
The router supports Wi-Fi protection, referred to as WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista®. The following instructions for setting 
this up depends on whether you are using Windows Vista® to configure the router or third party software.        
When you first set up the router, Wi-Fi protection is disabled and unconfigured. To enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi protection, 
the  router  must  be  both  enabled  and  configured.  There  are  three  basic  methods  to  accomplish  this:  use  Windows 
Vista’s built-in support for WCN 2.0, use software provided by a third party, or manually configure. 
If you are running Windows Vista®, log into the router and click the Enable checkbox in the Basic > Wireless section. 
Use  the  Current  PIN  that  is  displayed  on  the Advanced  > Wi-Fi  Protected  Setup  section  or  choose  to  click  the 
Generate New PIN button or Reset PIN to Default button. 
For additional information, please refer to page 83.
If you are using third party software to set up Wi-Fi Protection, carefully follow the directions. When you are finished, 
proceed to the next section to set up the newly-configured router.
