When do you get this error ?

When you try to connect to the network on windows Vista or windows 7 computer, some times you get the error “press the configuration button on your access point or router“.

This is a type of security. Some routers use the configuration button to synchronize the wireless . For example Linksys router has a small Secure Easy set up button on the router. If you press it and hold it down, it will create a secured network with WPA security key. Now on your computer should be compatible with the Secured Easy set up. If it is then you just need to click on the SES on your computer and it will connect to that network automatically.

  11. Thanks for your help. I got it connected. no more need to press configuration button on the access point.

  12. If you don’t know the security key then you will need to check the settings of the router. If you have any computer connected to the router, then open the set up page and check the settings. If your SSID is not secured then it will not ask you for the security key and it will connect you to the network. But if it is secured then you will need to enter the security key.
