2.4.1 How to connect your wireless client via WPS
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local network in a swift and easy way, without the
need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless network key, encryption type).
Both the 2.4 GHz as the 5 GHz access point of your MediaAccess Gateway support WPS.
Requirements
Your wireless client must support WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.
Your MediaAccess Gateway must use WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption (default encryption) or WPAWPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES)
encryption. WPS with WEP encryption is not possible.
WPS methods
The following WPS methods are supported by your MediaAccess Gateway:
Push Button Configuration (PBC):
You have to put both the wireless client and the MediaAccess Gateway in registration mode by pushing a hardware or
software button.
PIN code entry on the wireless client:
You have to enter the MediaAccess Gateway’s WPS PIN code on the wireless client. For more information, see “Adding a
wireless client using WPS PIN entry on the wireless client” on page 34.
PIN code entry on the MediaAccess Gateway:
You have to enter the wireless client’s WPS PIN code on the Admin Tool. For more information, see “Adding a wireless client
using WPS PIN entry on the MediaAccess Gateway” on page 35.
Procedure for PBC
Proceed as follows:
1 Start WPS on your wireless client.
Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 have native WPS support.
