Use WPS to Add a Computer to the Extender’s WiFi
Network
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the extender’s
network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a
WPS button
or enter a PIN to connect.
If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must
include a physical button or a software button. If you use the PIN method, you must know the
PIN of the WiFi device that you are trying to connect.
WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi
security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on the
extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the
WiFi Settings page (for more information, see
View WiFi Settings on page 22).
For information about using WPS to connect the extender to a WiFi network during setup,

Use the Extender in Access Point Mode on page 15.
