Connect Wireless Devices using WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to easily
add wireless devices to your network.
You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled
ÍNote:
or if you are using WEP security.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to your
network:
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) method:
ͳ Hardware Push Button method–with an external button located physically on
your router and on your client device (recommended).
ͳ WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located on router management page.
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located on router management page.
ÍNote: Please refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation
of WPS.

Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method (recommended)

It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created before
connecting clients using the PBC method. By default your router is preconfigured with a
wireless encryption key. If no wireless key is defined when connecting via PBC, the router
will automatically create an encryption key that is 64 characters long. This 64 character
key will then have to be used if one has to connect computers to the router using the
traditional connection method.
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless
device you are connecting (consult client device User's Guide for length of time), then push
and hold the WPS button located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. The WPS
LED will blink to indicate WPS has been activated on your router. Please refer to
Overview" on page 4.
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each additional
device.
