WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is based on push-button or PIN (Personal
Identification Number) entry authentication to provide strong WPA/WPA2 encryption
keys to client devices. Users can push a button on the access point and the client
device to exchange the encryption key. With a PIN, users can enter a code
generated by the client device to connect to the network.

WPS Setup - PBC (Push-button Configuration)

1.

Push the WPS button on your wireless access point or start WPS standby
mode as instructed by the wireless access point’s user manual.

2.

Before you start to establish the wireless connection using WPS, define the
Wireless USB Adpater as a WPS “Enrollee” or a “Registrar” by selecting the
Config Mode options.

- Enrollee – An enrollee is the device being added to the network.

If the Wireless USB Adapter is set as an enrollee, click the Rescan button on
the utility WPS setup page to search for WPS-enabled access points near you.
All access points found will be displayed in the WPS AP List. Select an access
point on the list and click the Connect button to activate the connection. You
can also click the Information button to see the detailed information about the
selected access point.
