Using WPS to Connect to a Wireless Network

If an access point or router in the wireless network that you try to connect to supports WPS, you
can use WPS to set up the WN711 wireless settings and connect securely to the access point or
router. (An access point or router that supports WPS has a WPS symbol.) WPS automatically
configures the network name (SSID) and WPA security key for the access point or router and the
WN711. Note that WPS is not a new security feature—it makes existing security features easier to
configure.
For an access point or router that supports WPS, there are two methods to enable WPS with a
client such as the WN711:
• Push Button Configuration (PBC). To enable WPS, press a push button or push dome on the
access point or router, or click an onscreen button in the software. This is a fairly new
technology, so only some access points and routers provide a PBC.
• PIN entry. To enable WPS, in the Smart Wizard for the WN711, enter a personal
identification number (PIN) that is associated with the access point or router.
