4.8 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Advanced > Wireless Settings > WPS
WPS is a simplified method to add supporting wireless clients to the network. WPS is only applicable
for APs that employ WPA or WPA2 security. To use WPS, select the eligible VAPs from the
dropdown list of APs that have been configured with this security and enable WPS status for this AP.
The WPS Current Status section outlines the security, authentication, and encryption settings of the
selected AP. These are consistent with the AP’s profile. There are two setup options available for :
• Personal Identification Number (PIN): The wireless device that supports WPS may have an
alphanumeric PIN, if so add the PIN in this field. The router will connect within 60 seconds of
clicking the “Configure via PIN” button immediately below the PIN field. There is no LED
indication that a client has connected.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC): for wireless devices that support PBC, press and hold down on
this button and within 2 minutes click the PBC connect button. The AP will detect the wireless
device and establish a link to the client.
More than one AP can use WPS, but only one AP can be used to establish WPS links to client at any
given time.
