To connect your device to a wireless router using the WPS button, you will need to press and hold the button for about 2-3 seconds. This duration may vary slightly depending on the specific router model, but 2-3 seconds is generally the standard time frame.
During this period, the WPS button initiates a process called WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). This process allows you to quickly and securely connect your device to the wireless network without the need to enter a password.
When you press and hold the WPS button on the router, it activates the WPS mode, indicating that it is ready to establish a connection with a compatible device. It is important to note that not all devices support WPS, so make sure your device is WPS-compatible before attempting to connect using this method.
Once the WPS mode is activated on the router, you will typically see a light or indicator on the router that confirms it is ready to establish a connection. This light might blink or change color to indicate the WPS mode.
Now, on your device, locate the Wi-Fi settings and look for the option to connect using WPS. This option is usually found in the Wi-Fi settings menu, and it may be labeled as “WPS” or “Wi-Fi Protected Setup.” Select this option to initiate the connection process.
After selecting the WPS option on your device, it will try to establish a connection with the router. It will send a signal to the router, which will respond by establishing a secure connection. This process typically takes a few seconds, and you may see a notification or indicator on your device confirming the successful connection.
It is worth mentioning that the WPS method is a convenient way to connect devices to a wireless network quickly. However, it is not the most secure method, as it relies on a PIN or a push-button connection. If security is a concern, it is recommended to use the traditional method of entering a password to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
In conclusion, to connect your device to a wireless router using the WPS button, press and hold the button for about 2-3 seconds. This duration may vary slightly depending on the router model. Remember to check if your device supports WPS before attempting to connect using this method.
