WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new Wi-Fi 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).
Both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi access points of your DWA0120 support WPS.
Requirements
• Your Wi-Fi client must support WPS. Consult the documentation of your Wi-Fi client for this.
• Your DWA0120 must use WPA2 PSK (default encryption) or WPA+WPA 2 PSK encryption or no encryption.
• The WPS function must be enabled on your DWA0120. This is the default setting.
WPS Methods
The following WPS methods are supported by your DWA0120:
• Push Button Configuration (PBC):
You simply push the WPS button on both your Wi-Fi client and your DWA0120 to connect them to each other. See
“Connect your Wi-Fi client using WPS PBC” on page 23.
• PIN code entry on the Wi-Fi client:
You enter the PIN code of your DWA0120 on the configuration utility of your Wi-Fi client to connect them to each other.
See “Connect your Wi-Fi client using WPS PIN code entry on the Wi-Fi client” on page 23.
• PIN code entry on your DWA0120:
You enter the WPS PIN code of your Wi-Fi client on the DWA0120 web interface to connect them to each other. For
