Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a wireless networking standard that helps you establish
secure wireless network connections. Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes it easy for you
to set up WPA™ (Wi-Fi Protected Access®) 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 Wi-Fi Protected Setup:
• Push button method – simply push a button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup-supported
device, for example, a router.
• PIN method – your device creates a random PIN, which you enter on the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup-supported device.

1 Find and tap Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.
2 Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
3 Tap Wi‑Fi preferences > Advanced > WPS Push Button, then tap the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup button on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup-supported device.
