6.6. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.

The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS via PIN code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to Process’ button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the wireless router.

WPS: Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the WPS function.

WPS Current Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here. Otherwise, you’ll see ‘UnConfigured. The router will automatically enable encryption when you setup the WPS from default settings. Any WPS connection made after the router has been modified, the encryption type will stay as is.

Self Pin Code: This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices.

SSID: This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router.

Authentication Mode: It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless connection.

Passphrase Key: It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by the wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information when using a device which doesn’t support WPS.
