7.2 Security
This page allows you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface. You can set
up configuration manually or through Wi-Fi protected Setup (WPS).
WPS (WSC*) uses a
push-button or a PIN to simplify the secure network setup. With WPS, Freeway DSL can
automatically set the SSID or network name as part of the setup process and provide strong
encryption keys to client devices. You do not need to configure SSID, wireless security setting,
etc., in the client software. In order to use WPS (WSC), the wireless client software must also
support WPS.
