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.
