What is

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup

)

WPS

is a technology which simplifies the connection procedure to a wireless network between a WPS-

compatible device (your

Hercules Wireless N Key

, for example) and your

Hercules Wireless N Router

Different connection methods are available to you: simply click a button located on the router or in WiFi
Manager N, or enter the PIN code of the device to be connected (your

Hercules Wireless N Router

or your

Hercules Wireless N Key

, for example) in the WiFi Manager N interface.

About master and client modes

To get a better understanding of the two connection modes via WPS, it is important to grasp the concepts of

master

and

client

. In

master

mode, the WPS device (your

Hercules Wireless N Router

, for example) is the

access point to which other WPS devices will connect (your

Hercules Wireless N Key

or another WPS

device). In

client

mode, it is the WPS device (your

Hercules Wireless N Key

or another WPS device) which

connects to the master (your

Hercules Wireless N Router

Note:

The procedure detailed hereafter describes

connecting your Hercules Wireless N Router with the

Hercules Wireless N USB Key

; however, you can also connect other WPS devices. Should you wish to do

so, please refer to your WPS device's user manual

In order to enjoy using a simplified connection thanks to the

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup

)

functionality, devices which will be connecting to your Router must be WPS-compatible and certified.
