Connect Wireless Devices using WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to easily
add wireless devices to your network.
ÍNote: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast seng to Disabled
or if you are using WEP security.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to your
network:
• Push Buon Conguraon (PBC) method:
ͳ Hardware Push Buon method–with an external buon located physically on
your router and on your client device (recommended).
ͳ WPS Soware/Virtual Push Buon - located on router management page.
• PIN (Personal Idencaon Number) Method - located on router management page.
ÍNote: Please refer to your wireless device documentaon for details on the operaon
of WPS.
Hardware Push Buon (PBC) Method (recommended)
It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created before
connecng clients using the PBC method. By default your router is precongured with a
wireless encrypon key. If no wireless key is dened when connecng via PBC, the router
will automacally create an encrypon key that is 64 characters long. This 64 character
key will then have to be used if one has to connect computers to the router using the
tradional connecon method.
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS buon on the wireless
device you are connecng (consult client device User’s Guide for length of me), then push
and hold the WPS buon located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. The WPS
LED will blink to indicate WPS has been acvated on your router. Please refer to “Product
Overview” on page 4.
For connecng addional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each addional
device.
PBC (Soware/Virtual Push Buon)
Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > WPS
In addion to the hardware push buon located physically on your router, the router
management page also has push buon which is a soware or virtual push buon you can
click to acvate WPS on your router.
1 Log into your router management page (refer to “Log in to Management Page” on page 8).
2 Click on Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > WPS > WPS Acon.
3 To add a wireless device to your network, next to PBC, click the Start Push Buon buon.
Then push the WPS buon on the wireless device (consult wireless device’s User’s Guide
for length of me) you are connecng.
4 Wait for your router to nish the WPS process.
ÍNote: You should see a message on your WPS client device indicang the WPS was
successful.
