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.
