8.2 Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the NBG6817 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
).
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility.
This tutorial shows you how to do both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the NBG6817's interface. See
is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

NBG6817) is pushed in, and that the device is placed within range of your notebook.
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and
