WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) is a wireless networking standard that helps you to

establish secure wireless network connections. WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-

devices to an existing network without entering long passwords.
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:

•

Push button method – simply push a button on a WPS-supported device, for example, a

router.

•

PIN method – your device creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number), which

you enter on the WPS-supported device.
