Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Locking the wireless security settings prevents the
settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup feature of the router. Devices can still be added
to the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. However,

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add
the router to an existing network or to create a new
network. The default PIN may be printed on the
bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN
can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at
any time. Only the Administrator (“admin” account)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup”
as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well
as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering
the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the
highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
