4.2 Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up a wireless network using WPS. This example uses the
EMG2881-T20A as the AP and a WPS-enabled Android 4.4.2 smartphone as the wireless client.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility. This
tutorial shows you how to do both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See
