8.5.5 WPS Setup
WPS refers to Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
You can use WPS to establish wireless connection in a quick and secure way if the
uplink AP or terminal (for example, the network adapter) has the WPS function. It is
suggested to first configure wireless encryption for the uplink AP. If you change the
wireless encryption mode after having establishing wireless connection using WPS,
you must use WPS to establish wireless connection again. Note that if the wireless
client does not support WPS you must manually configure the wireless client (such
as SSID, security mode, and password) to make it have the same SSID and
wireless security settings as the router.
The following describes how to configure WPS for the router mode.
8.5.5.1 Using the WPS Button
In the Router mode with WDS disabled, press the
WPS
button on the side panel of
NU-AP699E9N3 and the
WPS
button on the client device. NU-AP699E9N3 can
perform WPS encrypted connection to the downlink client device.
