Use WPS to Add a Computer to the Extender WiFi Network

WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) lets you connect a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to
the extender's network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you
use a WPS button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you use the push button method, the WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that you are
trying to connect must provide a physical push button or a software button. If you use the PIN
method, you must know the PIN of the WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that you are
trying to connect.
WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi
security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on the
extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the
Wireless page (for more information, see
