All Yealink handsets we supply are capable of Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. For the T5X series phones (T53W, T54W, etc.), these features are built in. On the T4X series (T42, T46, etc.), you'll need the appropriate USB adapter for either bluetooth or WiFi.

Once enabled, you'll now need to connect to your network. This can be done in two ways:

  4. Enter your WiFi Password and choose OK

  2. Select WPS
  3. Select either WPS if your router uses a physical WPS button, or WPS-PIN if you enter a PIN number to connect
  4. Press the WPS button on the router to allow connection or enter the displayed WPS PIN into your router's web interface
