network setup relatively simple. If you have a WPS-enabled wireless access point
and you want to establish a secure connection to it, you don’t need to configure the
device and set up data encryption by yourself: All you need to do is go to the WPS
setup screen, click an on-screen option, and press a specific button or enter an
8-digit code on the wireless AP you want to establish a secure connection with — just
three simple steps!
For older wireless access points, it’s even possible to perform a firmware upgrade
to create a WPS-enabled access point. Since older devices may not have a button
to press for WPS setup, you can use an alternative WPS setup method: entering
the PIN code. Every WPS-compatible wireless network card supports the PIN code
configuration method: You just enter the code and the wireless access point and
wireless card will do the rest for you.
Though this Wireless 300N PCI Card is compatible with WPS, the wireless
access point you want to connect to must support WPS, too. Once you’ve
confirmed that it does, proceed with the steps below.
3.6.1 WPS Setup: PBC (Push-Button Configuration)
1. Right-click the configuration
utility icon and click “Launch
Config Utility.”
2. Click “WPS” to display the
screen.
3. Set “Config Mode” to “Enrollee,” then press the WPS button on your wireless AP
(the button used to activate WPS standby mode may have another name).
NOTE:
Refer to the device’s user manual for any other procedure/process.
