Depending on the network, there are a number of ways to
connect to it.
Networks that support connection via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup) are identified in the list as [
WPS
].
Other connections are either open networks or connections
protected with a PSK, or Pre-Shared-Key.

WPS allows simple and nevertheless protected connection
of the radio to the network. Two options are available
for this purpose: The connection can be set up by means
of PBC, or Push-Button Configuration, or by the PIN
procedure, in which the web interface of your router
prompts you to enter a randomly generated sequence of
numbers.

Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix
[
WPS
])

In the WPS menu, choose the
Push Button
option and
confirm your selection by pressing [

Press the WPS button on your router or current access
point. This can often be done using the web interface,
