WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a wireless networking standard that helps you
establish secure wireless network connections. WPS makes it easy for you to set up
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) 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, which you enter on the WPS-
supported device.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network using a WPS button
