Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a passphrase. 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 – you have to push a specific button on the wireless client or in your wireless client utility 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. WPS via PIN code – you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then input the wireless client PIN to the wireless router web interface.
