STEP 2
Choose the WPS setup method:

connect to the network. You must log in to that device to obtain its WPS PIN.
Then click Configure via PIN. After clicking this button on the Cisco RV180W,

button, push the button on the device. Then, on the Cisco RV180W, click
Configure via PBC (push button configuration).
Configuring a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless
interconnection of access points in a network. It allows a wireless network to be
expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to
link them.
WDS peers are other access points in the network connected in the WDS. All
base stations in a WDS must be configured to use the same radio channel, method
of encryption (none, WEP, or WPA) and encryption keys.
