How to Connect to WPS on a Laptop

Wireless-G routers may not always have a Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) feature, but it's a convenient way to connect devices like wireless printers and laptops to your router wirelessly. The WPS button can be found either on the front or back panel of your Linksys device. Before we dive into the steps, note that WPS only configures one device at a time.

There are three methods to follow depending on the client device you're using to connect to the router through WPS:

Method 1: Connecting a Device Using the Router's WPS PIN

If your device supports WPS, you can use its WPS PIN to connect. Here's how:

* Make sure your laptop is configured to detect devices.

* Select the TV model name displayed on the TV and press Next.

* Set Wi-Fi Direct ON and select Connect Device.

Method 2: Connecting a Device Using Wi-Fi Direct (WPS PBC)

If you want to connect your TV and laptop directly using Wi-Fi Direct, follow these steps:

* Ensure that both devices support the Wi-Fi Direct feature. Check the specifications of your products.

* On your computer, click Start Menu → All Programs → VAIO Smart Network → Advanced button.

* Press Home (MENU) on your remote control → Applications → Wi-Fi Direct Mode.

Using Wi-Fi Direct to Connect TV and Laptop

With Wi-Fi Direct, you can play content such as photos, music, and videos from your device on your TV without the need for a wireless router or access point. To use this feature, ensure that both devices support WPS and have the latest system software (firmware) update.

In conclusion, following these steps will help you connect to WPS on your laptop and enjoy seamless connectivity with other devices on your network.
