Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

The following items are displayed on this page:

WPS Summary — Provides detailed WPS statistical information.

WPS SSID — The service set identifier for the unit.

WPS Auth Mode — The method of authentication used.

WPS Encryp Type — The encryption type used for the unit.

WPS Default Key Index — Displays the WEP default key (1~4).

WPS Key (ASCII) — Displays the WPS security key (ASCII) which can be used to ensure the security of the wireless network.

Reset WPS to Default — Resets the WPS settings to factory default values.

WPS Config — Configures WPS settings for the Mini 3G Broadband Router.

WPS Mode — Selects between methods of broadcasting the WPS beacon to network clients wanting to join the network:

PIN: The Mini 3G Broadband Router, along with other WPS devices, such as notebook PCs, cameras, or phones, all come with their own eight-digit PIN code. When one device, the WPS enrollee, sends a PIN code to the Mini 3G Broadband Router, it becomes the WPS registrar. After configuring PIN-Code information you must press “Apply” to send the beacon, after which you have up to two minutes to activate WPS on devices that need to join the network.

PBC: This has the same effect as pressing the physical WPS button that is located on the front of the Mini 3G Broadband Router. After checking this option and clicking “Apply” you have up to two minutes to activate WPS on devices that need to join the network.
