(WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease installation and activation
of security features in wireless networks. WPS has two basic modes of
operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC) and Personal Identification
Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and
provides more security. The WPS button on the router can be pressed at
any time to allow a single device to easily join the network.
The WPS Settings page includes configuration options for setting WPS
device PIN codes and activating the virtual WPS button.
