III-3. WPS Settings
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a simple way to
establish connections between WPS compatible
devices. WPS devices feature a WPS function which can
be activated by pushing a WPS button on the device or
from within the device’s firmware/configuration
interface. When WPS is activated in the correct manner
and at the correct time for two compatible devices,
they will automatically connect.
The WPS Settings page displays settings for WPS between your extender and a
wireless client. For WPS Setup between your extender and router/access
point, please refer back to (
II-2. WPS Setup ).
The wireless extender supports two types of WPS for wireless clients: PBC
(Push Button Configuration) and PIN code. For PBC you can activate WPS on
the wireless extender by clicking the “Start PBC” button on the screen.
Note: Click the “Start PBC” button to activate WPS –
do not push the WPS/Reset button on the extender.
PIN code setup varies slightly in that it requires you to manually enter a PIN
code into each device via the WPS Settings before activating WPS.
Note: Depending on your WPS Settings selection
(above), either 2.4G or 5G Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Information will be displayed on your screen. Both are
shown below for demonstration purposes.
