5.2.1Configure Wireless Security Using WPS on both your NBG-418N and Wireless Client

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses the NBG-418N as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.

Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or PCI card).

There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both.

•Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 5.2.1.1 on page 58.This is the easier method.

•PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the NBG-418N’s interface. See Section 5.2.1.2 on page 59. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
