Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) is a new and easy way to configure the encryption for your wireless network clients. In order to use it with your router, firstly, you must configure the wireless encryption on the router. You can find instructions for configuring it in the User Manual located on the CD that came with your router. Secondly, you will need to have wireless adapters that support this feature. If your wireless adapters do not support WPS, you will need to set up the wireless security manually and you can skip this section.
