Using Wi-fi Protected setup
WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption . It does not provide
additional security, but rather, standardizes the method for securing your
wireless network . You may use either the Push Button Configuration
(PBC) method or PIN method to allow a device access to your wireless
network . Conceptually, the two methods work as follows:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the front of your
Router for three seconds . Then initiate the WPS procedure on the client
device within two minutes . Refer to your client’s documentation on this
procedure . Pushing the PBC button will automatically enable WPS . The
client has now been securely added to your wireless network .
PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits) that
is associated with WPS . Enable WPS through the GUI shown below .
Enter the client’s PIN into the Router’s internal registrar (accessed
through this GUI) . The client will be automatically enrolled into your
wireless network within two minutes .
