2.4 WPS Button

Your WX Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure WiFi
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a WiFi network with strong security, without having to configure security
settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS
(check each device's documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device
itself, or in its Web Configurator. When WPS is activated on a device, it has 2 minutes to find another
device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by
themselves.
The WPS button is located at the front panel of the WX Device.
