4.6 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

 

 

 

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (

WPS

) is a new and easy way to configure the encryption for 

your wireless network clients. In order to use it with your router, firstly, you will need to   

have a router that supports this feature, like the AR670W Wireless N Router. 

Secondly, you must configure the wireless encryption on the router; you can find 
instructions for configuring it in the User Manual located on the CD that came with your 
router. If your wireless router does not support WPS, you will need to set up the 
wireless security manually and you can skip this section. 

 

In the instructions below, we are going to use the utility, Wireless Monitor that comes 
with the Wireless N adapters and the Wireless router as the example. 

 

Step 1 

Go to the computer with the Wireless N adapter and open the   

Wireless Monitor.    Click on the 

Wi-Fi Protect Setup

 or push hardware push button.
