Use WPS to Add a PC to the Extender’s Wireless Network

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or wireless device to the Extender’s network without entering the wireless network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a WPS button or enter a PIN to connect. WPS supports WPA and WPA2 wireless security. If your Extender network is open (no wireless security is set), then connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA2 + WPA wireless security on the Extender network.

The Universal WiFi Extender WN3000RP Installation Guide explains how to use WPS during installation.

You can connect with WPS by using either the WPS button on the side of the Extender, or by logging in to the Extender and clicking an onscreen WPS button.
