Use WPS to Add a Computer to the Extender's WiFi
Network
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi 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 device that you are trying to connect must have
a physical push button or a software push button. If you use the PIN method, you must know
the PIN of the WiFi 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 Settings screen (for more information, see
page 49).
Note: For information about using WPS to connect the extender to a WiFi
network during setup, see
