6.2.2 Setting Up a WiFi Network Using WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up a WiFi network using WPS. This example uses the WX
Device as the AP and a WPS-enabled Android smartphone as the WiFi client.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) – create a secure WiFi network simply by pressing a button. This is the
easier method.
• PIN Configuration – create a secure WiFi network simply by entering a WiFi client's PIN (Personal
Identification Number) in the WX Device's interface. This is the more secure method, since one device
can authenticate the other.
Note: When using WPS in the Web Configurator, and depending on your Band selection (2.4
GHz or 5 GHz), the secure connection will apply for the selected Band only.
