Section 3 - Configuration

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the "Initial setup" as well

as the "Add New Device" processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures.

The process is just as easy as pressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering an 8-digit code.

router to an existing network or to create a new network.

interface of the wireless client.

This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless

network.

Add Wireless

Starts a wizard which will display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the

Station:

PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a

configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router

within 120 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network.

There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A "registrar" controls access to the wireless network. A registrar

only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the

device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.

Note: You may also press the physical WPS button on the device.
