7.9 WiFi Protected Setup

WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi
Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without
having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you
can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure
network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the
6.1.2 on page
