2.4G/5G WPS Settings:
WPS Enable - Click this checkbox to enable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on your system. WPS is
a standard method for easily configuring a secure connection between your router and
computers or other wireless devices (known as enrollees) that support WPS. When WPS is
enabled you can attach other wireless devices by pressing the WPS buttons on the device (if
equipped) and on your router, or by entering the enrollee’s PIN and then clicking the Start WPS
Association icon.
Device PIN Code: - Enter this code on your computer if requested during connection.
WPS Mode – Sets the encryption method for WPS. Can be set to PBC (Push Button Control) or
PIN Code.
If using PBC, press the WPS buttons on the client device and on your router simultaneously to
start the WPS association. If using PIN codes, enter the enrollee’s PIN in the Enrollee PIN Code
field, and then click the Start WPS Association icon.
If the connection is successful, the WPS indicator light on the router stops flashing and remains
lit. If unsuccessful, the WPS light continues to flash for up to two minutes (indicating that it’s
ready to accept a client connection) and then turns off. If the WPS light turns off, start the
association process over.
Enrollee PIN Code – If your client device has a WPS PIN number, enter it here, then click the
Start WPS Association icon.
