How do I connect (or re-connect) a new device – such as a printer, game console, smart home device (doorbell, thermostat, camera, etc) to my Wi-Fi network?

Our Wi-Fi router is equipped with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) which makes it easy to connect a wide range of devices to your Wi-Fi network while maintaining network security. 

Our system supports both the push button and PIN entry options for WPS: 

  • Push-button configuration (PBC): you can connect multiple devices to your Wi-Fi network and enable data encryption by pushing the WPS button on the front of the router, the physical or software-based button on the device you wish to connect. Please note that during the two-minute setup period which follows the push of the button, any devices in the range of the router can join the network. 

 

  • PIN entry: a unique PIN (Personal Identification Number) can be used for each device to join the network. The unique PIN is shown on a label placed on the WiFi router. The PIN is used to make sure the intended device is added to the network being set up and will help to avoid unintended devices being added to the network.
