WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi security is set),
connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on the extender network and generates
a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the WiFi Settings page (for more information, see
View WiFi Settings
on page 17).
