WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is based on push-button or PIN (Personal
Identification Number) entry authentication to provide strong WPA/WPA2 encryption
keys to client devices. Users can push a button on the access point and the client
device to exchange the encryption key. With a PIN, users can enter a code
generated by the client device to connect to the network.
WPS Setup - PBC (Push-button Configuration)

Push the WPS button on your wireless access point or start WPS standby
mode as instructed by the wireless access point’s user manual.

Before you start to establish the wireless connection using WPS, define the
Wireless USB Adpater as a WPS “Enrollee” or a “Registrar” by selecting the
Config Mode options.

If the Wireless USB Adapter is set as an enrollee, click the Rescan button on
