WPS: Example Network Step 1
In step
2
, you add another wireless client to the network. You know that
C lie nt 1
supports registrar mode,
but it is better to use
AP1
for the WPS handshake with the new client since you must connect to the
access point anyway in order to use the network. In this case,
AP1
must be the registrar, since it is
configured (it already has security information for the network).
AP1
supplies the existing security
information to
C lie nt 2
.

WPS: Example Network Step 2
In step 3, you add another access point (
AP2
) to your network.
AP2
is out of range of
AP1
, so you cannot
use
AP1
for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know that
C lie nt 2
supports
the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake instead.
