•Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 11.3.1 on page 88.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 Router’s interface. See Section 11.3.2 on page 89. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

11.3.1Push Button Configuration (PBC)

1Make sure that your Router is turned on and that it is within range of your computer.

2Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook.

3In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or WPS button)

4Log into Router’s Web Configurator and press the Push Button button in the Network > Wireless Client > WPS Station screen.

Note: Your Router has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other.

Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one.

The Router sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the Router securely.
