Networking FAQ

What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a product certification that provides simple and secure configuration. WPS assists users in establishing wireless home networks and enabling network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi-Fi technology. WPS configures the network name (SSID) and WPA passphrase for network devices. WPS only supports networks that communicate through access points or routers and is not applicable in ad hoc networks.

We support the following methods in adding new wireless network devices:

Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN from the new device is entered into the access point.

Push Button Configuration (PBC)—The user pushes a button on both the access point and the new device.

Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your device is WPS certified:

You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point or router.

Where do I find my WEP key or WPA passphrase?

To find the WEP key or WPA passphrase for the wireless network, view the security settings on the access point or wireless router. Most access points have a Web page that can be accessed using a Web browser.

You can also check the manual that came with your access point or router. If your access point or router is using the default settings, you can find the information in the manual. If someone else set up your network for you, that person or company may have included the information in the manual.

If you do not know how to access the Web page, or if you do not have administrator access to the wireless access point on your network, and are unable to locate the information in the manual, contact your system support person.

What is an SSID?

A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know the SSID of the wireless network or they will not be able to communicate with each other. Usually, the wireless network broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for security reasons.

If the SSID of your wireless network is not broadcast, it cannot be detected automatically and will not show up in the list of available wireless networks. You must enter the network information manually in this situation.
