Checking the Type of Access Point

When connecting via an access point, check whether the access point supports WPS*,
which simplifies connections between Wi-Fi devices.
If you are unsure about WPS compatibility, refer to the access point user manual or other
documentation.

WPS in PBC mode.

Access point encryption

For this reason, the encryption used by the access point must be set to one of the following
when you will connect to detected networks manually.

[

Authentication

]: Open system, shared key, or WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal

[

Ask any network administrator in charge of networks you will join for setting details.

address to the access point. The MAC address can be checked on the [
