WPS recommends that you setup WPA/WPA2 (described on page xx) as your
wireless security. WPS does not provide additional security, but rather, simplifies
the addition of wireless devices to 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.
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the front of your Router for three
seconds and the security LED will flash, indicating that WPS has been initiated.
Then, initiate WPS on the client device within two minutes. (Refer to your client’s
documentation on this procedure.) The wireless device and Router will
automatically exchange security key and establish a secure connection. .
PIN: The client device has a WPS PIN number (eight digits) that would be
provided to you when you initiate the connection to the router. Enable WPS
through the screen illustrated below. Enter the client’s PIN into the Router’s
internal registrar (accessed through this screen). The client will be securely
enrolled into your wireless network within two minutes.

1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.
2. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a wireless
client wishing to access your network must supply a 4- or 8-digit PIN to the
Router. After clicking “Enroll”, you must start WPS from the client within
two minutes.
3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you may enter in the
Router’s PIN to the registrar. Click “Generate New PIN” to change the PIN
from the default value. Click “Restore Default PIN” to reset the PIN value.
4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate method to
connect to a WPS network. Push the WPS button located on the front of
the Router for three seconds, and then initiate the PBC on the client
device. Alternatively, push the “Start PBC” soft button to start this process.
5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security
settings to be set up if not using WPS.
WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT:
In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and wireless
client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client utility software
that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, a couple
security patches are available, for free download, from Microsoft®. These
patches work only with the Windows XP operating system. Other operating
systems are not supported at this time.
