WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi® Protected Setup) is a computing standard that helps you establish secure
wireless network connections. If you have little background knowledge of wireless
security, WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption
to secure your network. You can also add new devices to an existing network without
entering long passwords.
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:
•
Push button method – simply push a button on a WPS-supported device, for example, a
router.
•
PIN method – your device creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number), which
you enter on the WPS-supported device.
