Wi-Fi Protected Setup
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 pressing 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.
