Chapter 5 Tutorials
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 WRE2205’s Web Configurator and navigate to the Network > Wireless LAN > WPS Station screen.
5In the WRE2205’s Web Configurator, select Registrar in Config Mode and then press Start PBC.
Note: Your WRE2205 has a WPS button, as well as a Start PBC button in the Web Configurator. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter whether you press the button on the WRE2205 or the wireless client first. WPS times out after two minutes of pressing a button. Press the button on the second device within about a minute of the first, then wait two minutes for the WPS configuration to complete.
The WRE2205 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WRE2205 securely.
The following figure shows an example of how to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on both WRE2205 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).
