3.4 Establish secure connection using WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network technology which makes wireless
network setup become very simple. If you have WPS-enabled wireless access point, and you
want to establish a secure connection to it, you don't have to configure the wireless access
point and setup data encryption by yourself. All you have to do is to go to the WPS setup page
of this wireless adapter, click a button, and then press a specific button or enter a set of 8-digit
code on the wireless access point you wish to establish a secure connection - just three simple
steps!
For older wireless access points, it's possible to perform a firmware upgrade to become a WPS-
enabled access point. Since they may not have a hardware button to press for WPS setup, you
can use an alternative WPS setup method - input the pin code. Every WPS-compatible wireless
network adapter support pin code configuration method; you can just input the code to wireless
access point, and the wireless access point and wireless network adapter will do the rest for
you.
This wireless network adapter is compatible with WPS. To use this function, the wireless access
point you wish to connect to must support WPS function too.
This wireless network adapter supports two kinds of WPS: PIN code and Push Button
Configuration (PBC). In the following pages are described the instructions to establish secure
connection between WPS-enabled wireless access point and your wireless network adapter.
