 WPS Settings
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between
wireless network clients and this router. You don
‟t have to select encryption
mode and input a long encryption passphrase every time when you need to setup
a wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless client and this
wireless router, and the WPS will do the setup for you.
This router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and
PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to switch this wireless router to WPS
mode and push a specific button on the wireless client to start WPS mode. You
can push Reset/WPS button of this router, or select “PBC” and click “Start WPS”
button in the WPS setup page to do this. If you want to use PIN code, you have
to know the PIN code of wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then set the
PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect to this router in the WPS
setup page and click “Start WPS” button to start WPS mode.
