Entering a PIN. If you want to use the PIN method, select the PIN radio button. A screen
similar to the one shown below displays.

Go to your wireless client and, from the client’s WPS utility, obtain the wireless
client’s security PIN, or follow the client’s WPS utility instructions to generate a
security PIN.

Then, enter this PIN in the Enter Client’s PIN field provided on the router and click
Next. You have 4 minutes to enable WPS on the router using this method.

Using either method, the client wireless device will attempt to detect the WPS signal from the
router and establish a wireless connection in the time allotted.

If no connection is detected:

WPS did not establish a secure connection with a wireless device.

Neither the SSID nor the WPA/WPA2 security settings were configured on the router.

If a connection is established:

The router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the wireless client was
successfully added to your wireless network.

The router generated an SSID, implemented WPA/WPA2 wireless security (including
a PSK security password), and broadcast these settings to the client; the client now
shares the same security settings as the router.

Note your SSID and WPA/WPA2 PSK security password (whether previously set or
generated) for your wireless network.

If the router was already configured manually, and either WPS/PSK or
WPA2/PSK security enabled and a PSK security password selected, then
the client now shares these same security settings.
