Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

Wirelessly connecting to a Wi-Fi network via an access point (wireless 

router) is commonly referred to as 

infrastructure mode

. If your wireless 

router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be easy and 

require minimal configuring. Perform the following procedure. If your 

wireless router does not support WPS or you wish to manually config-

ure settings, refer to

devices you will use.

General requirements

• Correctly configured Wi-Fi network or hotspot 

that uses the 802.11b/g/n protocol.

POINTS TO CHECK

• Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your files and data to 

monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Be aware of the risks involved.

functions, do not cover the right side

other object. The Wi-Fi antenna is 

located on the right side and covering 

it may interfere with wireless signals.
