Using Wi-fi Protected setup

WPS uses WPA2 (described below) 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 WPS . 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 GUI shown below .

Enter the client’s PIN into the Router’s internal registrar (accessed

through this GUI) . The client will be automatically enrolled into your

wireless network within two minutes .
