Question
How do I enable Amazon Wi-Fi Simple Setup on my G54 gateway?
 
Answer
Wi-Fi Simple Setup is part of the Amazon Frustration-Free Setup service that allows newly purchased compatible smart devices to connect to the home network in fewer steps.  Amazon customers pre-register the new smart devices during purchase which allows the smart devices to connect to the Wi-Fi Simple Setup enabled home network device.  For more information regarding Amazon Wi-Fi simple setup and Amazon frustration-free setup refer to Amazon.com. 

By default, the Amazon Wi-Fi simple setup is disabled on the G54.  This document will describe how to enable Amazon Wi-Fi simple setup using the Web Manager.
