5.3.7 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is one of the international
encryption standards developed by the WiFi Alliance
for easily and quickly setting up a secure wireless net-
work. The encryption keys of the respective WiFi devic-
es are transmitted automatically and continuously to
the other WiFi device(s) in the wireless network. The
dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac offers two different variants for
transmitting these encryption keys:
WPS via PBC (Push Button Configuration):

secure WiFi connection. The WiFi LED on the front
panel indicates the synchronisation process by
flashing.
Use of the WPS method implies the use of the WPA/
WPA2 encryption standard. Therefore take note of the
