Add Wireless Clients with WPS
The Router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WPS is a standard for easy and secure establishment of a wireless network. With WPS you can setup and protect
your wireless network in just a few easy steps.
Note: To use WPS with the Router, you need to have wireless clients that support WPS. If you have one or more Wireless Clients without WPS support,
it is advised to secure your network manually using the Setup Wizard.
The Router supports two ways to activate and establish a WPS connection:
y Push Button method
y Pin Code technology
WPS – Push Button method 1
The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your Wireless Client to establish a connection between the Router and your Wireless Client. Some
Wireless Clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some Wireless Clients use a software-based virtual button.
Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:
1. Press the WPS Button at the right side of the Router, the button will blink green.
2. Press the WPS Button at your wireless client. This can be a hardware button or a virtual button in the software of your wireless client.
The Router will activate WPA security over your wireless network and accepts the wireless connection of your Wireless Client.
Note: The Router will keep the WPS authentication active for up to 120 seconds or until the connection is established. During this process, the WPS
button will blink green. If there is no connection in these 120 seconds, the button stops blinking and the WPS authentication process is stopped.
3. If the authentication of the wireless client succeeds, the WPS button on the router will stop blinking and go dark. Test the wireless client to make
sure it is now connected to the Router. Repeat this procedure to add more WPS wireless clients. A successful WPS connection means the wireless
client is able to use the router and the wireless network is secured with WPA encryption.
Note: The WPA Key generated by the Router is random.
