WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device
itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one
device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has
two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
The
WPS
button is located at the back panel of the WAP6906.

1.7 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to
use the
RESET
button at the back of the WAP6906 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This
means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to
the default key on the device label. The WAP6906 will be reset to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server.
