AC1200 WiFi Range Extender
If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must
include a physical button or a software button. If you use the PIN method, you must know the
PIN of the WiFi device that you are trying to connect.
WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi
security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WP
A + WPA2 WiFi security on the
extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the
WiFi Settings page (for more information, see View WiFi Settings on page 24).
For information about using WPS to connect the extender to a WiFi network during setup,
see Use the Extender in Access Point Mode on page 15.
