you entered the correct security key.

4.4 Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses the
WAH7601 as the AP and a WPS-enabled Android smartphone as the wireless client.
The Push Button Configuration (PBC) is a WPS method for creating a secure connection. PBC creates a
secure wireless network simply by pressing a button.
Follow these steps to successfully connect your WPS compatible device with the WAH7601.
1 Make sure that your WAH7601 is turned on. Make sure WiFi is turned on, and that the WAH7601 is placed
within range of the device you want to connect.
2 Press the WPS button for 1 second on the WAH7601’s side panel.
3 Go to your phone settings and turn on WiFi. Open the WiFi networks list and tap WPS Push Button or the
WPS icon ( ).
Note: It does not matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within
two minutes of pressing the first one.
The WAH7601 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two
minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WAH7601 securely.
The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button
on both WAH7601 and wireless client (the Android smartphone in this example).
