Connect Wireless Devices Using Wps - TRENDnet TEW-800MB User Manual

TRENDnet User's Guide
5GHz 802.11 A/N/AC** mixed mode
This wireless mode allows the TEW-8000MB to connect only to devices on the 5GHz
wireless frequency. The highest data rate supported in this mode is 867Mbps*.
However, the wireless router or access point will need to have a similar 867Mbps
feature.
*For maximum performance of up to 867 Mbps use with an 867 Mbps 802.11ac wireless router.
**Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data
throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other
conditions
Under Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), you can choose the PBC (Push Button
Configuration) or PIN settings.
In WPS mode, the TEW-800MB may connect to your router on the default 2.4GHz band.
Please refer to the Manual setting of the Basic Wireless Setting section, for the 5GHz
band choice.
Connecting with WPS
© Copyright 2013 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to
easily add wireless devices to your network.
Note: You will not be able to use WPS if your router's SSID Broadcast setting is disabled
or if you are using WEP security.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) method
- (RECOMMENDED) Hardware Push Button method – with external WPS buttons
located on your router and on your media bridge
- WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in the media bridge's management page
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in the media bridge's
management page
Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation of
WPS.
Recommended Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method
• Note: It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created
before connecting clients using the PBC method. If no wireless key is defined when
connecting via PBC, the router will automatically create an encryption key that is 64
characters long. This 64 character key will then have to be used if you have to connect
computers to the router using the traditional connection method.
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless
device you are connecting (consult client device User's Guide for length of time), then
push and hold the WPS button located on your router for 5 seconds and release it. A
blue LED on your router WPS button will flash indicating that the WPS setup process has
been activated on your router. (See "Product Hardware Features" on page 5)
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each
additional device.
