Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wireless
network clients and this access point. You don't have to select encryption mode and

you only have to press a button on wireless client and this access point, and the WPS

push a specific button on the wireless client to start WPS mode. You can push
Reset/WPS button of this access point, or click 'Start PBC' button in the web
configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you have to provide the
