1.6 The WPS Button

Your NBG6818 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device's documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to
authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up
a secure network by themselves.
You can use the WPS button in the Web Configurator of the NBG6818 to activate WPS in order to quickly
set up a wireless network with strong security.
Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).
1
Open the Web Configurator.
2
Click Settings > WiFi > WPS, and the press the WPS button.
3
Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the NBG6818.
4
Note: You must activate WPS in the NBG6818 and in another wireless device within two
minutes of each other.
