Using Wi-fi Protected setup
WPS uses WPA/WPA2 (described on page 39) for encryption. It does
not provide additional security, but rather, standardizes the method for
securing your wireless network. You may use either the Push Button
Configuration (PBC) method or PIN method to allow a device access to
your wireless network. Conceptually, the two methods work as follows:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the back of your Router
for three seconds. Then, initiate the WPS procedure on the client
device within two minutes. Refer to your client’s documentation on this
procedure. Pushing the PBC button will automatically enable WPA/WPA2.
The client has now been securely added to your wireless network.
PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits) that
is associated with WPS. Enable WPS through the screen illustrated
below. Enter the client’s PIN into the Router’s internal registrar
(accessed through this screen). The client will be automatically enrolled
into your wireless network within two minutes.
