WPS
Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still
have trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the
open security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, The Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi
networks and subsequently network management. The largest difference between
WPS-enabled devices and legacy devices is that users do not need the knowledge
about SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf in a security-
enabled Wi-Fi network. This device supports Push Button method and PIN method
for WPS. The following sub-paragraphs will describe the function of each item.
