Using WPS with the Macintosh 
Configuration Utility 

The Macintosh Configuration utility can be used to configure your 
adapter using either the PIN method or PBC method.  The 
software only supports entering the PIN used on the USB 
adapter; it does not allow you to enter a PIN that is already 
configured on your Router.  If your wireless network is already 
configured using a PIN, follow the instructions in Chapter 5: 
Connecting to a Wireless Network in Mac OS X and enter the 
PIN when prompted for a Network Key. 

To configure your adapter using either a PIN code or PBC 
method, follow these steps: 

1

 

Double-click on the Wireless-N USB Configuration utility icon 

 on the Dock. This opens the wireless configuration 

utility.  

2

 

Click on the 

WPS

 tab.
