Do some reading in the manual about "Secure Easy Setup". Yes , it is an electronic manual (PDF I think). |

No hardcopy manuals, but no surprise. Hopefully, I don't need Windows to look for other goodies on it beside PDFs. I assume I don't need its software Windows utilities to access all features in router. -- Ant @ »antfarm.ma.cx and »aqfl.net. Please do not IM/e-mail me for technical support. Use the forum!

| They might have included the product manual on the CD, however the disc is more functional as a coaster. Everthing can be configured throught the routers GUI anyways.
Note: SES adds the ability to connect wireless clients to the network automatically. SES is only available to SES compatible adapters.
Orange - SES functional but no clients are connected using this feature,
Flashing White - SES active and seeking clients (this occurs after the SES button has been pressed, this mode will last for up to 2 minutes),
White - SES has successfully configured a client to the access point. SES is only usefull if all of your other wireless devices support the feature. In a mixed device enviroment you will have to set things up the old fashion way but entering the key on all of the clients.
Using DD-WRT firmware the function of the button, and the lights can be changed, for example the button can be changed to turn the wireless radio on or off. |

Hence, why I never opened the CD envelope. OK so SES is useless to me with the stock firmware since I use a variety of wireless devices (many supports only WEP). I never saw SES mentioned either. -- Ant @ »antfarm.ma.cx and »aqfl.net. Please do not IM/e-mail me for technical support. Use the forum!
