WPS Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network technology which makes
wireless network setup become very simple. If you have WPS-enabled wireless
access point, and you want to establish a secure connection to it, you don’t have to
configure the wireless access point and setup data encryption by yourself. All you
have to do is to go to the WPS setup page of this wireless card, click a button, and
then press a specific button or enter a set of 8-digit code on the wireless access
point you wish to establish a secure connection - just three simple steps!
For older wireless access points, it’s possible to perform a firmware upgrade to
become a WPS-enabled access point. Since they may not have a hardware button to
press for WPS setup, you can use an alternative WPS setup method - input the pin
code. Every WPS-compatible wireless network card support pin code configuration
method; you can just input the code to wireless access point, and the wireless
access point and wireless network card will do the rest for you.
This wireless network card is compatible with WPS. To use this function, the wireless
access point you wish to connect to must support WPS function too. Now, please
follow the following instructions to establish secure connection between
WPS-enabled wireless access point and your wireless network card.
