Secured Network with Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS)
The WPS standard makes set-up of a secure wireless home network as straightforward as pressing the WPS button on the wireless LAN router. Before setting up a wireless LAN, check the position of the WPS button on the router and verify how to use it.
Select “Wireless Set-up” from the “Network Set-up” start-up screen.
Select “WPS (Push Button)” for Push Button method or “WPS (PIN)” for PIN method.
Follow the instructions that appear on the set-up screen.
- To connect to a wireless LAN with WPS, your wireless LAN router needs to support the WPS standard.
Secured Network without Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS)
For setting up a wireless LAN, SSID (wireless network name) and security key (WEP or WPA key) will be required. If you do not know them, consult the instruction manual of your router.
Select “Wireless Set-up” from the “Network Set-up” start-up screen.
Select “Scan”, then select a network from the list of scanned wireless networks.
Follow the instructions that appear on the set-up screen.
Unsecured Network with Any Type of Wireless LAN Router
For setting up a wireless LAN, SSID (wireless network name) will be required. Security key (WEP or WPA key) will not be required because you need to select no security method in this procedure.
Select “Wireless Set-up” from the “Network Set-up” start-up screen.
Select “Scan”, then select a network from the list of scanned wireless networks.
Follow the instructions that appear on the set-up screen.
Checking the Network Connection
Enter the respective alphanumeric values for your router if necessary. The items that need to be set (e.g. IP Address, Subnet Mask, DHCP) may differ depending on the Internet service provider or router. For details, refer to the instruction manuals provided by your Internet service provider, or those supplied with the router.
Select “Auto” to set the IP Address and proxy server automatically, or “Custom” to set them manually.
Follow the instructions that appear on the set-up screen.
