Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Your CPEi 890 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to simplify the setup of your wireless security. WPS can be used to configure client devices such as wireless adapters in laptop computers that support WPS. If your client devices do not support WPS, you will have to manually configure those devices. In order to use WPS to set up your client devices, access the security section of the Wi-Fi configuration by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon, then clicking on Security. Before you begin, you should configure the security settings in the CPEi 890 as described in the section above before continuing.

NOTE If you have client devices that do not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, note the wireless settings, and then manually configure those client devices.

There are two primary options available when utilizing WPS. Use the option below that applies to the client device you are configuring. NOTE: WPS configures one client device at a time. Repeat the procedure for each client device that supports WPS.

Option #1, Push Button Control (PBC)

Use this method if your client device has a WPS button. Note that the button may be a physical button located on the client device or a software button located on the client device setup screen.

There are two options available with the PBC method on the CPEi 890, hard ware button and software button.
