Configuring Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Certain gateway models support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is a standard for easy and
secure establishment of a wireless home network. Using WPS simplifies the process of connecting
any home device to the wireless network. As an access point (AP), the gateway issues and revokes
credentials to a network. The gateway provides a push button on the front panel (
Figure 23
) to enable
the synchronization between the AP and the client (analogous to the pairing of the garage door
opener and remote control).
Note:
For the WPS to work, the wireless client device must support the WPS function. The
installation and configuration vary among the device manufacturers. Refer to your client
documentation for instructions.
