Wi-Fi Protected Setup
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 WPA is automatically used.
