Disable WPS: Checked to disable the Wi-Fi protected Setup.
WPS Status: When the WLAN ADSL Router settings are factory default (out of
box), it is set to open security and un-configured state. “WPS Status” will display
it as “UnConfigured”. If it already shows “Configured”, some registrars such as
Vista WCN will not configure AP. Users will need to go to the “Backup/Restore”
page and click “Reset” to reload factory default settings.
Self-PIN Number: The “Self-PIN Number” is AP’s PIN. Whenever users want
to change AP’s PIN, they could click “Regenerate PIN” and then click “Apply
Changes”. Moreover, if users want to make their own PIN, they could enter four-
digit PIN without checksum and then click “Apply Changes”. However, this
would not be recommended since the registrar side needs to be supported with
four-digit PIN.
PIN Configuration: Click the “Start PIN” button to start the PIN method of
WPS.
Push Button Configuration: Click the “Start PBC” button to start the push btton
method of WPS.
Client PIN Number: It is only used when users want their station to join AP’s
network. The length of PIN is limited to four or eight numeric digits. If users enter
eight-digit PIN with checksum error, there will be a warning message popping up.
If users insist on this PIN, AP will take it.
