WPS Security

The Conceptronic C300BRS4A supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WPS is a standard for easy and secure establishment of a wireless network. With WPS you can setup and protect your wireless network in just a few easy steps.

Note: To use WPS with the C300BRS4A, you need to have Wireless Clients which supports WPS. If you have 1 or more Wireless Clients without WPS support, it is advised to secure your network manually using the Setup Wizard.

Note: For more (technical) information about WPS, you can visit the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup

The C300BRS4A supports 2 ways to activate and establish a WPS connection:

-Push Button technology

-Pin Code technology

WPS – Push Button technology

The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your Wireless Client to establish a connection between the C300BRS4A and your Wireless Client.

Some Wireless Clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some Wireless Clients use a software-based virtual button.

Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:

A.Press the WPS Button at the front of the C300BRS4A until the WPS LED blinks.

B.Press the WPS Button at your Wireless Client. This can be a hardware button or a virtual button in the software of your Wireless Client.

The C300BRS4A will activate WPA security over your wireless network and accepts the wireless connection of your Wireless Client.

Note: The C300BRS4A will keep the WPS authentication active for 120 seconds. During this process, the WPS LED will blink. If there is no connection in these 120 seconds, the LED will turn off and the WPS authentication process is stopped.

If the WPS feature is not used earlier, the wireless network will still be unencrypted.

If the authentication of the Wireless Client is succeeded, the WPS LED will burn steady blue for 5 minutes. After these 5 minutes, the LED will turn off.

Your Wireless Client is now connected to the C300BRS4A and your network is secured with WPA Encryption.

You can add more Wireless WPS Clients without loosing the connection to previous Wireless WPS Clients.

If you want to add more Wireless WPS clients, repeat step A & B.

Note: The WPA Key generated by the C300BRS4A is random.
