Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption. It does not
provide additional security, but rather, standardizes the method for
securing your wireless network. You may use either the Push Button
Configuration (PBC) method or PIN method to allow a device access to
your wireless network. Conceptually, the two methods work as follows:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the back of your
Router for three seconds. Then initiate the WPS procedure on the client
device within two minutes. Refer to your client's documentation on this
procedure. Pushing the PBC button will automatically enable WPS. The
client has now been securely added to your wireless network.
PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits)
that is associated with WPS. Enable WPS through the GUI shown
below. Enter the client's PIN into the Router's internal registrar
(accessed through this GUI). The client will be automatically enrolled
into your wireless network within two minutes.
1.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.
2.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a
wireless client wishing to access your network must supply a 4- or
8-digit PIN to the Router. After clicking "Enroll", you must start the
WPS handshaking procedure from the client within two minutes.
