To connect your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or gaming device) to your modem router’s WiFi network, you can use either the manual method or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method.

Manual Method

  1. Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections on the computer or mobile device that you want to connect to your modem router.This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
