WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) is a wireless networking standard that helps you

establish secure wireless network connections. If you have little background

knowledge of wireless security, WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-Fi Protected

Access® (WPA) encryption to secure your network. You can also add new devices to

an existing network without entering long passwords.
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:

Push button method – simply push a button on a WPS-supported device, for

example, a router.

PIN method – your device creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number),

which you enter on the WPS-supported device.
