13.2 Simple Config
If you select Wireless Settings from the top navigational menu and then select Simple Config in the submenu
options at the left of the screen, the following screen will appear. Simple Config allows you to configure wireless
access to your Router. Devices that support Wi-Fi protected setup can quickly connect to your Router using the
Router’s simple config button, without first requesting long keywords or passphrases. By default, this feature is
disabled in the Router.
Simple Config offers two methods for quick wireless connection to your Router.
• Push Button method: Clicking this option allows you to press a button on the Router and on the client
(usually a software button) to automatically setup secure wireless access to the Router.
• PIN entry method: Clicking this option allows you to enter a PIN code, generated by the client (PC, Wireless
Printer, Dual Mode Phone, etc.), into the Router to automatically setup secure wireless access to the Router.
NOTE:
1. To use either method, your Router must be configured for WPA-PSK, WEP Open, or WPA2
- PSK settings
2. Security settings “WEP Shared Key” and “WPA Enterprise” are not supported by Simple Config.
