Before You Begin

Make sure:

• Your Hitron ARIA 2210 is powered on, configured and online.
• Your phone, tablet or computer is connected to the ARIA by Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
• You have your ARIA 2210 administrator password.
• The device you want to connect supports WPS.

The default ARIA administrator username is cusadmin. Your administrator password is the password you created when you originally configured your ARIA 2210.

What Are We Going to Do?

The WPS pairing window is temporary, so have the device you want to connect nearby and ready before starting the pairing session.

Open the Router Administration Page

1 — Open Your Browser

Open Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox or another web browser.

2 — Visit the ARIA

Enter the following address directly into your browser’s address bar:

If your browser asks for permission to access devices on your Local Network, select Allow.

3 — Sign In

Username: cusadmin

Password: The administrator password you created when you initially configured the ARIA 2210.

Which Password Is This?

This is your router administrator password, not necessarily your Wi-Fi password.

The administrator password was created during the initial ARIA 2210 setup process and is used to manage your router’s settings.

Find WPS

Once you’ve signed into the ARIA:

1. Open the main menu. On smaller screens, you may need to select the menu button.
2. Select Wi-Fi to expand the Wi-Fi settings.
3. Select WPS.

You should now see the ARIA’s WPS configuration screen.

Turn On WPS

On the WPS page, locate:

1. Move the Enable WPS (2.4G) toggle to the ON position.
2. The toggle should appear blue when enabled.
3. WPS is now enabled for the ARIA’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

You can now continue to the pairing step.

Asked to Restart the ARIA?

Depending on the router’s configuration, you may be asked to restart after enabling WPS.

If a restart is required, allow the ARIA to completely come back online. Then sign back into 192.168.0.1 and return to Wi-Fi → WPS before continuing.

Press to Pair

1 — Start Pairing on the ARIA

On the WPS page, select the large:

2 — Start WPS on Your Device

Within approximately 2 minutes, go to the device you want to connect.

Depending on the device, either:

• Press its physical WPS button, or
• Select WPS from the device’s Wi-Fi/network settings.

3 — Wait for the Connection

Wait for the device to confirm that it has connected. Depending on the device, you may see a solid Wi-Fi light, a connected indicator or a Connected message.

Connected!

Your device should now be connected to your Wakey Wi-Fi network without manually entering the Wi-Fi password.

Your Device May Tell You to Start WPS First

Some printers, cameras and other devices provide their own WPS instructions. If your device tells you to begin WPS on the device before selecting Press to pair on the ARIA, follow the device manufacturer’s instructions.

Disable WPS When You’re Finished

1. Return to 192.168.0.1.
2. Sign into the ARIA if necessary.
3. Navigate to Wi-Fi → WPS.
4. Turn Enable WPS (2.4G) OFF.

Turning WPS off will not disconnect the device you just paired. It simply prevents another WPS pairing session from being started until you enable the feature again.

Why Turn WPS Off Again?

WPS is convenient when connecting compatible devices, but if you don’t regularly use it, leaving it disabled when you’re finished reduces unnecessary pairing functionality on your Wi-Fi network.

Try the Pairing Process Again

WPS pairing only remains active for a limited period.

If pairing fails:

1. Make sure Enable WPS (2.4G) is still turned on.
2. Make sure your device supports WPS.
3. Move the device closer to the ARIA temporarily.
4. Select Press to pair again.
5. Activate WPS on your device within approximately 2 minutes.
6. Wait for the device to confirm the connection.

If necessary, check the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the device you’re trying to connect, as the exact WPS procedure can vary.

Remember — WPS Is 2.4 GHz on the ARIA

The WPS option shown on the ARIA 2210 is labelled Enable WPS (2.4G). The device you’re connecting should therefore support the ARIA’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

Wakey Doesn’t Know Your Administrator Password

Your ARIA administrator password was created by you during the initial router setup. Wakey does not have access to that password.

If you’ve forgotten it, the ARIA will need to be returned to its factory settings and configured again.

Important: A factory reset erases the ARIA’s current configuration, including your customized settings.

Factory Reset the ARIA 2210

1. Keep the ARIA connected to power.
2. Locate the recessed RESET button on the unit.
3. Using a paper clip or pin, press and hold RESET for approximately 15 seconds.
4. Release the button and allow the ARIA to power-cycle and restart.
5. Wait for the LED to begin slowly flashing/pulsing white.

After the reset, follow the Hitron ARIA 2210 Setup Guide to configure the router again.
