Push N Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup
Push N Connect (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your\
 gateway’s wireless 
network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same t\
ime. WPS, also 
called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is relatively new technology, so before yo\
u decide to use it, 
check to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS. Look\
 for the 
symbol on all the computers that will connect wirelessly to the gateway.\
 
If you do not see the   symbol on all the computers that will connect to the wireless 
network, then you should manually set up your network first (see Manually Configure The 
Wireless Settings ). After that, you can still use WPS to set up the wireless connection \
for the 
computers that support WPS.
Note:   All WPS-capable products should be compatible with the gateway. 
For more detailed information about the WPS standard, see 
http://www.wi-fi.org ). 
There are two Push N Connect methods, Push Button and PIN (personal i\
dentification 
number). •     Push Button. This is the preferred method. See the following section, WPS Button  .
•     PIN. See PIN on page  17.
WPS Button
You can use the WPS button to automatically set up wireless settings in \
your gateway and to 
set up your wireless computer to connect to it.
