WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local network in a secure and easy way, without
the need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).

WPS Methods
The following WPS methods are supported by your DGA4130:

You simply push the WPS button on both your wireless client and your DGA4130 to connect them to each other. See

other. See “Connect your wireless client using WPS PIN code entry on the wireless client” on page 27.
• PIN code entry on your DGA4130:
You enter the WPS PIN code of your wireless client on the DGA4130 web interface to connect them to each other. For
