How do I use the WPS button on my router?

Answered by Willian Lymon

To use the WPS button on your router, follow these steps:

1. First, make sure your router and the device you want to connect to it (e.g., a TV, smartphone, or computer) are both turned on and in close proximity to each other.

2. On your remote control, press the HOME button to access the main menu of your device.

3. Using the arrow buttons on the remote, navigate to the Settings option and select it. This will take you to the settings menu.

4. In the settings menu, look for the Network option and select it. This will open the network settings.

5. Within the network settings, you may find an option called Network Set up, Setup Network Connections, or something similar. Select this option to access the network setup process.

6. Within the network setup process, you should see a choice for Wireless, Wireless LAN, or Wi-Fi. Select this option to configure the wireless connection.

7. Now, you should see an option for WPS (Push Button). Select this option to initiate the WPS setup process.

8. After selecting WPS, you will be prompted to press the Start button. Press Start to begin searching for available networks.

9. While your device is searching for networks, locate the WPS button on your router. This button is typically located on the back or side of the router and is labeled as “WPS” or may have a symbol resembling two arrows forming a circle.

10. Once you’ve located the WPS button on your router, press and hold it for a few seconds. This will activate the WPS function on the router.

11. You should see a message on your device indicating that a connection is being established. The device will automatically connect to the wireless network using the WPS method.

12. Wait for the connection process to complete. Once the connection is established, you will see a confirmation message on your device.

That’s it! You have successfully used the WPS button on your router to connect a device wirelessly. Remember, the specific steps may vary slightly depending on your device and router model, but the general process should remain the same.

If you encounter any issues during the setup process, it’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or contact the customer support for your specific router or device.
