Connect Using WCN 2.0

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 Advanced > Wi-Fi Protected Setup

window. Use the Current PIN that is displayed in the PIN Settings section of Advanced > Wi-Fi Protected Setup window or

choose to click the Generate New PIN button or Reset PIN to Default button.

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.
