875177 2010-04-11 07:55:00 Got above router gratis from telekom as part of asdl2 package.
Got no book or cd with it wondering what the button with a wireless symbol on the side of it is for. Pushed it nothing happens.
Thanks

875179 2010-04-11 09:14:00 I'm unsure, but I know that with other firmwares the button on the front of routers is used to either enable / disable wireless, enable / disable telnet, or for password-less connection of machines to a secure wireless connection.

To be honest, I think it's the latter

875180 2010-04-11 10:10:00 If I recall correctly, it is the passwordless connection thing but I have never seen a device that can connect that way. Greven (91)

875182 2010-04-11 11:54:00 From the manual

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your network in a swift and easy way,
without the need to enter all of your wireless settings (SSID, encryption...

Your wireless client must supports WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.
�� Your Thomson Gateway must use WPA(2)-PSK encryption (default encryption) or no encryption.
WPS with WEP encryption is not possible.

Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Shortly press the WPS button on the Thomson Gateway:
2 The WPS button LED starts blinking orange. This indicates that the Thomson Gateway is now searching
for wireless clients that are in registration mode. You now have two minutes to start WPS on your
wireless client.
3 Start WPS on your wireless client.
