Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you connect to a secure WiFi network without typing its
password. Instead, press a button or enter a PIN.
Some older WiFi equipment is not compatible with WPS. WPS works only with WPA2 or WPA
wireless security.

To use WPS to join the wireless network:
1. Press the WPS button on the side of the access point.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless device, or follow the WPS
instructions that came with the device.
The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network
password and connects you to the wireless network.

BASIC Wireless Settings

You can view or configure the wireless network setup.
The access point comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID),
network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.
You can find the preset SSID and password on the label of the access point.
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
Best practice is not to change your preset security
security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can
easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the SSID or other wireless security settings, you
are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer
with a wired connection to access the access point.
