    Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every device in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose you have a wireless network with the WAH7608 and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two devices. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA.

    Look for a WPS button on each device. If the device does not have one, log into its configuration utility and locate the button (see the device’s User’s Guide for how to do this - for the WAH7608, see Section 12.5 on page...
  • Page 100 If you cannot connect, check the list of associated wireless clients in the AP’s configuration utility. If you see the wireless client in the list, WPS was successful. The following figure shows you how to set up a wireless network and its security on a WAH7608 and a wireless client (android 4.4.2 smartphone) by using PIN method.
  • Page 101 If the registrar is already part of a network, it sends the existing information. If not, it generates the SSID and WPA(2)-PSK randomly. The following figure shows a WPS-enabled client (installed in a notebook computer) connecting to a WPS-enabled access point. WAH7608 User’s Guide...
  • Page 102 When WPS is activated on both, they perform the handshake. In this example, AP1 is the registrar, and Client 1 is the enrollee. The registrar randomly generates the security information to set up the network, since it is unconfigured and has no existing information. WAH7608 User’s Guide...
  • Page 103 In step 3, you add another access point (AP2) to your network. AP2 is out of range of AP1, so you cannot use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know that Client 2 supports the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake instead. WAH7608 User’s Guide...
