Set Up the WPS Settings
You can control how WPS functions on the WiFi bridge/extender. Use caution when changing
the WPS settings.
Note: For information about how to use WPS to add wireless devices and
other equipment to your wireless network, see
Wi-Fi Protected
Setup Method on page 20.
You cannot set up the WPS settings when the security is WEP. Make sure that the security
mode is WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode. For information
about configuring the security mode, see
Basic Wireless Settings on page 22.
You can do the following with the WiFi bridge/extender’s PIN:
• Disable the PIN entirely.
• Change the number of times that a PIN connection is allowed to fail before the PIN is
automatically disabled. By default, the PIN is automatically disabled after three failed
connection attempts. If the PIN is automatically disabled, it remains so until you restart
the WiFi bridge/extender. While the PIN is disabled, the WPS LED blinks slowly.
• Turn off automatic disabling of the PIN.

To change the WPS settings for your wireless network:
1. Log in to the WiFi bridge/extender.
