Networking FAQ

What is Wi

Fi Protected Setup?

Wi

‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network

and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi

configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices.

Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).

Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the access point.
