WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple method used to connect wireless client devices to wireless access points. It works by one
of two methods; Push Button Connect (PBC) or PIN code. The Push Button Connect method involves pressing a button on the two
devices within the space of two minutes while the PIN code method requires that the same PIN number is entered on both the
client and access point to authenticate.

setup process.

Using the Push Button Connect method
To connect a device to your router using the PBC method:
Press the WPS button on the back of the router.
Within two minutes of pressing the WPS button on the router, press the WPS button on your client device. The connection
is established.
An alternative method of triggering the PBC method is to do it from the web user interface. From the WPS page above, use the
Configuration method drop down menu to select Push Button Connect, then click the Trigger button. Within two minutes of
pressing the trigger button, press the WPS button on your client device. The connection is established.
Using the PIN code method
From the Configuration method drop down list, select PIN code.
From the Configuration mode drop down list, select Registrar or Enrollee.
If the router is configured as Registrar, enter the desired PIN code. The PIN must be exactly eight (8) numerals in length. If
the router is configured as Enrollee, enter the PIN code in the Access point PIN field on the client device.
Click the Trigger button and within two minutes, trigger the WPS function on your client device. The WPS connection is
established.
