Connecting Your Wireless Devices via WPS

WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless devices to your local
network in a swift and easy way, without the need to enter any of your wireless
settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).
Requirements
Your wireless device must support WPS. Check the documentation of your
wireless device for this.
Both Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 have native WPS
support.
The HBR must use WPA2 (default setting), WPA+WPA2 or WPA-TKIP.
It is not possible to use WPS when the HBR uses WEP or no encryption.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Briefly press the WPS button on the HBR:
2 The WPS button LED starts blinking amber. This indicates that the HBR is now
searching for wireless devices that are in registration mode. You now have two
minutes to start WPS on your wireless device.
3 Start WPS on your wireless device.
4 The HBR is now exchanging the security settings.
5 At the end of the procedure the status of the WPS LED will change to either of the
following:
 Solid green
This indicates that you have successfully registered your wireless device. You
are now connected to the HBR network.
 Blinking red at a constant rate
This indicates that the HBR could not find your wireless device. Use the same
procedure to try again (you do not need to wait until the LED turns off ).
