Use the WPS button on the wireless AP/Router to automatically connect devices to 
the network. Within two minutes, press the physical or virtual button on a single 
wireless client device to enable it to join the WLAN. 

The WPS configuration process may be initiated on any device. Only one client 
device can connect with the wireless AP/Router after the WPS button is pressed. 
There is no restriction to the order in which buttons are pressed. 

Note: Any WPS-compatible devices could unintentionally join the WLAN if they are 

within range during the two-minute set up period after the WPS button is pressed. 
Note that only one device at a time can join the network when using the WPS 
button.

1.

Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the wireless AP/Router. In general, 
the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of 
sight of all wireless devices. For optimum performance, consider these points:

• Mount the wireless AP/Router as high as possible above any obstructions in 

the coverage area.

• Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other 

obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the 
coverage area.

• Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as those 

containing metal).

Note: When choosing a site for mounting the router on a wall, consider the accessibility 

for network cabling. 

2.

Mount the Wireless AP/Router – The wireless AP/Router can be mounted on 
any horizontal surface.

Mounting on a wall or wood surface – The access point should be mounted 
only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its 
equivalent. 

• For wall or wood surface mounting, use a cross-head screwdriver and the 

20-mm M4 tap screws (not included). Or, drill two holes and insert two hooks. 

• Mount the access point to the screws or hooks.

Note: Mount the router with the front panel facing upward so that the status LED 

indicators are clearly visible.
