How to connect a computer to your network
You  can  connect  a  computer  to  your  network  using  an  Easy  Setup  Key  (the 
easiest way) or manually 
How to connect a computer using an Easy Setup Key
To use an Easy Setup Key, you first need to create one using any available USB 
drive  After it has been created, you can use the same key to connect several 
computers to your network 
TIP
The Easy Setup Key stores network information (name, password, 
security type, and security key) so you don’t have to remember 
them 
To create an Easy Setup Key:
1.  Run Cisco Connect, then click Add device under Computers and devices  
The Computers and other devices screen opens 
2.  Click Computer  
3.  Select No, I don’t have an Easy Setup Key, then click Next 
4.  Insert a USB drive into an available USB port on your computer  This USB 
drive will be your new Easy Setup Key  
Cisco  Connect  detects  the  newly  attached  USB  drive  and  copies  the 
router’s settings and a copy of Cisco Connect to it  
5.  When the files have finished copying, remove the Easy Setup Key from 
your computer  You can now use it to install Cisco Connect onto other 
computers and to connect them to the network 
6.  Click Close
