WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a computing standard that helps you establish secure
wireless network connections. If you have little background knowledge of wireless
security, WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
encryption to secure your network. You can also add new devices to an existing
network without entering long passwords.
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:
• Push button method – simply push a button on a WPS access point, for example, a
router.
• PIN method – your device creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number),
which you enter on the network access point device.
