Questions About WPS

Find answers to common questions about WPS.

What is WPS?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) provides a fast, simple, and secure way to connect WPS-enabled
devices to your Wi-Fi network. You don't have to give the name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password of
your network to other users.
The WPS feature is available on certain cameras, printers, smartphones, and laptops. These
devices have either a hardware button or a WPS-related option in the software. Please consult
the user documentation of your device.

How do I Use WPS?

Please see Connecting Through WPS.
If a Wireless Device has a WPS Button or a WPS Software
Option, Must I Use it to Connect Via Wi-Fi?
If this is the only way your device provides to connect through Wi-Fi, then you must use the
WPS button or the WPS software option. Some laptops support two methods — a WPS button
or software option, and Wi-Fi network manager software where you can connect by entering the
Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password, as described in How Do I Connect to Wi-Fi?.
Please consult the user documentation of your device.
How Do I Access My Corporate Network Through a
VPN?
Once you complete a wireless connection, you may need to launch an extranet client provided
by your company and supply the appropriate user name and password to gain access. For
support, contact your company help desk.

Are Terminal Sessions Supported?

Terminal sessions (for example, via telnet or ssh) are not supported.
