Automatic Secure Setup (AOSS/WPS)

AOSS and WPS are systems which enable you to automatically configure wireless LAN settings. Just pressing the buttons will connect wireless devices and complete security settings. Easily connect to any wireless devices, computers, or game machines which support AOSS or WPS.

AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) was developed by Buffalo Technology. WPS was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

• Before using AOSS or WPS to connect to a Buffalo wireless client, install Client Manager software from the included AirNavigator CD. Consult your wireless client’s documentation for more information.

•Buffalo’s Client Manager software can be used with the wireless LAN devices built into your computer. However, it is not guaranteed to work with all wireless LAN devices available. Some wireless clients may require manual setup.
