Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.
Locking the wireless security settings prevents the
settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup feature of the router. Devices can still be added
to the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. However,
the settings of the network will not change once this
option is checked.
A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add
the router to an existing network or to create a new
network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom
of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can be
generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time.
Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change
or reset the PIN.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplied method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well
as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certied it across dierent products as well as manufactures.
The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the
Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite benecial, while the highest wireless Security setting
of WPA2 is automatically used.
