button (

Note: Your WRE2205 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in
its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use
one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The AP sends the proper configuration settings to the WRE2205. This may take up to two minutes.
Then the WRE2205 is able to communicate with the AP securely.
