Wi-fi Protected setup
Your Wi-Fi Range Extender supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)
specification, which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses
familiar methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification Number
(PIN) or pushing a button, to enable users to automatically configure network
names and strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and authentication.
Using Wi-fi Protected setup™
Belkin recommends that you set up WPA2 as your wireless security. WPS does not
provide additional security, but rather simplifies the addition of wireless devices
to your wireless network. You may use either the Push Button Configuration
(PBC) method or PIN method to allow a device access to your wireless network.
PbC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the front of your Range Extender
for two seconds and the security LED will flash, indicating that WPS has been
initiated. Then, initiate WPS on the client device within two minutes (refer to your
client's documentation on this procedure). The wireless device and Range Extender
will automatically exchange a security key and establish a secure connection.
PIn: The client device has a WPS PIN number (eight digits) that will be provided
to you when you initiate the connection to the Range Extender. Enable WPS
through the screen illustrated to the below. Enter the client's PIN into the
Range Extender's internal registrar (accessed through this screen). The client
will be securely enrolled into your wireless network within two minutes.
