Connect wireless devices using WPS

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 you set the SSID Broadcast setting to 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
o (RECOMMENDED) Hardware Push Button method–with an external button
located physically on your router and on your client device
o WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in router management page
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in router 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 one has 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 3 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
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each
additional device.
